The Advantages Of Home Brew Summarised

There are a great many advantages to be had from home brewing- and inevitably, pleasure too! Both practical advantages and sheer pleasure can be had in home brewing. We aren't just referring to getting a little from the drink! There is a stigma traditionally attached with home brewing- something your potty Dad, or students would do in their attic. But its not; it is for everyone over 18 of course. Don't think you can just brew ale. You can do lager, wine, cider and spirit and liquors. Home brewing truly is about being creative.

All the above can be easily made with a small investment, about what the average person would spend in a pub over a month to get yourself everything you need. These kits normally include a beer kit, barrel, fermenting bin, paddle, syphon, steriliser, hydrometer, thermometer, trail jar and a co2 charge with converter. A good shop can you sell you a home brew kit with everything you need.

What you choose to make is completely up to you and can normally find something you really like the taste of very quickly. Seasonal ales are available as well, such as a special Christmas brew. Cider can be made as well- either with fresh apples or a concentrate pack that is ready made. The overall quality when home brewing can vary. The basic setup gives you a pre-made concentrate. For the more adventureous, you would add your own fresh ingredients. With cider for example, using your own apples. Normally the better the ingredients the better the brew. With home brewing then, you have the flexibility of going down the easy route and using pre-made packs- or you can experiment with your own ingredients. Home brew lets you brew massive bulks! The average yield will give you around 15-30 pints depending on the barrel. Picture not having to go to the pub, and having a shedload of drink at home at all times. If you are having a party, setting two or three home brews up in advance will satisfy a lot of people for a small amount.

Making home brew is also a very good way of saving money. Certainly cheaper than the pub! I worked out in the past an average pint costs around 50 pence ($1) depending on what you drink. Better quality brews cost more, but nowhere near the cost of a pint in a pub. A good way to avoid wasting money at the weekend. Surely the temptation of getting drunk on a fiver has its appeal.
