My stainless steel forming skills are a touch substandard.

Looks like its a regular stainless steal cooking pot with a temp gauge.

It also has a drain valve and a lid. The bottom section is 4 ml thick, rather than 0.8 all the way through like a standard pot, to aid in even heating. Riveted handles, stamped internal volume markers, and it also has the desired 1.2:1 height to diameter ratio. There's no way I could approximate all of that for the price.

It was also likely of inferior, and inconsistent, quality; not to mention of limited variation.
Do you still watch your mom's old black and white vacuum tube television?

Never seen one in a house I've lived in. Sorry. Just to clarify, I never said anything to the contrary of what you've said. Just said it would be cheaper

Oh, I wasn't offended, just making a joke.
Besides, my pops doesn't think I can make a good beer, so I'm out to prove him wrong.

My brother in law brews his own beer. He has made some pretty good brews. The best part is he kegs it and puts it in his kegarator.

That is definitely on my long-term goal list. Already added some pieces to my wish list.

I'd try a Hefeweizen if anyone I knew actually liked them. Not sure why they get such a bad rap, but they do. I'm not sure I want to drink 5 gallons of it by myself. haha
My first one is going to be a brown ale, I might tweak it a little bit to make it a little more hop forward.
Currently thinking something like this:
Fermentables:
6lbs Amber Malt Syrup
1lbs Amber Dry Malt Extract
Specialty grains:
.25lb Briess Caramel 80L
.25lb Fawcett Pale Chocolate
.125lbs Black Malt
Hops:
1oz Goldings (60m)
1oz Liberty (45m) (or maybe 30...)
1oz Goldings (30m)
1oz Willamette (15m)
1oz Willamette (dry hop 1 gallon only)
Safale US-04 Yeast - Might go with Wyeast 1968 ESB though, since it has higher attenuation. If so, I might add a little nit more to the fermentables section to give it more sugar to eat.
I want to try dry hopping, so I'm going to separate 1 gallon out and have two separate secondary fermenters. In the one gallon I'll be dry hopping an ounce of Willamette.
Also, the more I read the more equipment I think is necessary. Haha
Would like to add a chest freezer with temperature control device, a stir plate, strainers, one or two 1 gallon secondary fermenters.
