Back in 1996, we received a home brewing
kit. We had been reading about beer and seeking
out increasingly exotic brews, and it was
time we took it to the next level with hands-on
experience. Initially skeptical, we were
amazed when our first batch not only was
drinkable but actually quite good. By our
third or fourth batch, we were producing
beers that would do very well versus commercial
brews in taste tests.
Not only is home brewing fun with tasty results,
but also giving your own beers as gifts is
a great idea in itself, appreciated by many

Homebrew recipes make 5-gallon batches (2
cases). The classic kit includes 2 carboys
for primary and secondary fermentation, a
bucket for use in bottling, tubing to transfer
beer between stages , and various other instruments.
Purveyors such as Mr. Beer have kits for
2.5-gallon batches. Designed for new brewers,
these compact kits have fewer "moving
parts" and steps in the process. |
