Anyone else homebrew?

[Guy400]

Anyone else brew there own beer? I just bottled my first batch of lager tonight. My buddy already bottled a batch of pilsner and is almost ready to bottle his IPA. I'm anxious to see how it comes out. I dated a girl years ago who's dad brewed his own and that was the best damn beer I've ever had.

LMAO...that's the point! For what I was buying beer for I can make myself for just about 1/2. A 6-pack of a typical light beer (Bud Light or Miller Lite) is $4.99. I can brew a 6-pack for $2.60 My next batch is going to be an oatmeal stout and from there I'm going to make a Killian's Red clone.

I've made beer, ale, stout and mead Mead was the only thing made from scratch though, the rest I just bought kits and followed the recipe. Alot of work for 4-5 12 packs of beer but definitely worth it. I plan to make some more soon.

I thought you meant brewing something else. If that's the case, I'll keep myself from getting in trouble and just saying "yes".

I brewed a batch from a Mr. Beer kit a few years ago. It was a lager but I don't remember the flavor. It didn't carbonate properly and was a bit too friuty for me, worked great for cooking with though

I've been wanting to try it again but haven't taken the time yet...

I've got a deluxe kit that comes with a ton of different stuff (hydrometer, glass fermenter, siphon, bottling wand, etc.). The most kick *** part is that it makes 5 gallons of beer per batch

my neighbor is making some as well. He had me weld some tubes and install a coil inside a 5-gallon stainless steel pot with 3/4" connections. It will be the heat ex-changer for some type of cooling process. Seems kind of frankenstein, but he was all excited about the parts I made. I guess he will make me try it!! I'll stick to my budlight I think!!!!!!
