been thinking about doing this. but im most concerned with not being able to keep the temps correct over the two or 3 week period. also cooking the wort seems to be require a lot of heat...
anyways.. was looking into and found all kinds of interesting gear.. most interesting things where 'brew sculptures'...

It is not difficult, just do it.
As far as heat, where you at? I know of a super high output burner "just made for beermaking"  I was thinking of cooking a batch today as a matter of fact. |

An all stainless kit like that looks beautiful as well and produces beer! How could anyone say no???

That seems like some serious gear. I use food-grade 7 gallon plastic buckets for fermenting and cook up with two stainless steel pots so I don't need as big a burner. If you're lagering you'll need a fridge otherwise I just use my office on the lower level. The biggest issue is keeping your equipment sterile. |

I might be able to get some old returnable Bud and LoneStar bottles. Let me check.

the price.. several thousand dollars and start adding accesories it goes up up up. i know very little about brewing. supposedly people using 'sculptures' brew from scratch from grain (not even sure what that means). some sculptures and basically micro-brewery kit. the gear on morebeer is interesting. check it out. when i am concerned about temps i mean during the two week fermenting phase. temps in my house vary a bunch since when im not home i either let it get real hot or real cold depending on the time of year. i understand that the yeast cultures are specific to temps and varying that can speed up or slow down the process. anyway.. i will continue to look into it. one expensive but much less that a brew tree or scupture is a fermenting funnel..... |

Ladies, ladies, ladies...
First off, Marietta HomeBrew is closed, last I heard. Been closed over a year. That said, I purchase all my homebrew supplies from Beer Necessities, located at the corner of Old Alabama and Nesbit Ferry in Roswell/Alpharetta. It's also pretty damned convenient because it's a 2 minute drive down the road from where I live. The guy that runs the place is named Bob, and Bob knows his shit. The prices are good (buy often enough, and he'll put you on the "good customer" list to save some $$$), the selection is very nice, and if he doesn't have it, he can get it. He carries both kits and raw ingredients to satisfy brewers of every level of competence. |

Seriously, though, yes, it can be done. I think one my homebrewing books probably has a clone recipe for it. One of the positive aspects about homebrewing is that it is not uncommon for the brewer to try and imitate a particular beer, only to end up with something not quite the same, but perhaps tastier than the original in it's own right. |

The following Good Eats transcript might be a good read if you're interested in brewing your own. And Alton Brown happens to be a fellow Georgian

Even Alton Brown is missing a few crucial steps. That episode pissed me off.
