I'll be headed to the brew store in the next few days. Things to buy include:
Bottle Caps
Priming Sugar
Trappist Ale Yeast
gypsum
2 lbs. Light Dried Malt Extract
Styrian Goldings hops
Water (from the grocery store)
Honey

I might also get bottles.

I might also get:
dark malt extract
crystal malt
black patent malt
roasted barley
brown sugar
blackstrap molasses
more hops, as-yet-undecided variety
yeast
ginger root
spruce essence
juniper berries
a fucking habanero or two

That's crazy talk, but I'm serious. There's a porter recipe I've got called "Goat Scrotum Ale". This awesome name belongs to a genus rather than species of brew--there are too many options in this recipe to say that it's a recipe for a single kind of beer. The above describes my own ideas on how to realize it.... I might put some cranberries in too.

Oh, I'll be bottling my brown ale this weekend and racking the heffe.
