ive actually looked into brewing my own for a while now, just never realy gotten around to gettin the supplies...i really realy want to try it because i dont like most the domestic beer and my favorite beers i only know to get at one restaurant and it was gettin so expensive i had to get a job there so i could drink for free

It's really pretty easy to get started. You can start with some canned malts. Then work your way to dry malts, then grains/hopps. The basic process is
-mix malt with one gallon water
-simmer for 45min-1hour
-stir into 4 gallons water and let cool
-add yeast
-wait a week for fermenting to stop
-heat 1 cup water mix in 1 cup corn sugar
-mix with brew
-bottle immediatly
-wait one more week
-drink

 

The way we did it, it would take a few weeks to ferment and stuff. I think my dad is going to do it soon.

 

i really want to do it.. i might do it next semester in my apartment. my old neighbor used to do it and would grow is hops in the backyard, i thought it was cool.. never got to try it though

 

but does it end up tasting like a good beer, or like crap?

 

We used a long time ago (friends that I lived in commune with), about a 1000 gallons a year.

 

It tastes like good beer.:yumyum: Best part is you can tailor it to your own taste.

 

Possibly the best beer I have ever had was home brewed by a good friend of mine. He even printed up his own labels for the bottles, "Broomhandle Mauser Brew."

 

Yeah, we made our own labels too, Treefrog beer, we had a picture of a frog pissing on a tree.

 

:lmao:

I just got that
