Reidel O Glasses
Do you remember when you were a kid, and your Dad was trying to brew his own beer in the kitchen? And remember that smell of malt and hops all the way through the house?
It’s funny how life goes in circles. Home beer making is back.
The recession is starting to bite. We are all of us trying to save some money.
Beer sales in general are on the rise. People are taking to the drink. A Wall Street Journal article in mid March pointed to a 0.5 percent growth in beer sales last year. Craft beer sales were also up by 6 percent. The craft beer industry in general is seeing an overall rise of 10.5 percent.
Home beer making is a really great way of saving you a whole lot of money.
1. You have to approach home beer making from a hobby perspective. You have to have fun doing it. There’s no point getting off down to your local store, buying a whole heap of stuff and getting bogged down with it all.
2. It’s going to take you about ten hours to make your brew. That’s from start to drink. If you can’t find that sort of time, don’t bother.
3. If you’re thinking of going out and getting your hands on one of those cheap beers kits that you throw a ton of refined sugar into, don’t bother with that either. You’re wasting your time and money. They have alcohol in them, period. That’s all the good I have to say about them…they taste and look awful. Leave them where they belong, with college kids who don’t have the money or the taste buds to care.
4. If you insist on buying a kit, get a decent one. Look around and do your homework. You’ll pay more but the result is way better quality.
5. No matter what you do…don’t use sugar for home beer making. It’s like beating your beer over the head with a baseball bat, you’ll murder it. There’s a massive supply of proper brewing sugar out there that will make it taste and feel better in your mouth, which is why we all drink the stuff…right!
Again, do your homework. You only need to spend a little time to learn a lot.
