I brew all of my own from grains. There's usually a couple of threads a week in GD and a few buried in the Food section of the outdoors forum. Been trying to get a brewing forum , but no dice so far. I suggest you read this: http://www.howtobrew.com/intro.html Don't know how close you are to Akron, but this is a top notch place to buy supplies. http://www.grapeandgranary.com/ |

Who brews thier own? I want to start. Is it expensive? Hard? Dangerous? Where do I start? I have been brewing for about 12 years.Try to do 2 brews a month. Expensive,just like everything else it's only as expensive as you make it.After all the equipment costs a batch only costs me about $30 for 5 gallons that's for all grain. Hard,not really.If you can follow a recipe you can brew.After a batch or two you will know what to do. Dangerous,you will be dealing with 3-6 gallons of boiling liquid.Bottles can explode if over carbonated,but if you follow the recipe shouldn't be a problem. Start,from your name CincyAr,I'll guess you live in Cincinnati.I go to Listermann on Dana Ave. WWW.Listermann.Com they will have everything you need to start. |
