Home Brew BEER
- Thread starter acronym
- Start date
My son got a cheap kit for Christmas last year and it made some pretty damn good beer.
Thinking about getting started in it, but I'm afraid I'd like it TOO much and turn alcoholic!
From what I've heard and read, the most important thing is keeping all equipment absolutely sterile and clean. If any wild fungi and stuff get in there, it can turn to swamp water.

Hmm, heard that, and i hate cleaning.
Tonnes of info out there, but most of it from serious types who make all grain and stuff, not really sure what there on about.
For that matter, most of these characters regard "everyday" pop beers as the devils work, like millers, bud, the main aussie beers, vb, carlton, tooheys, xxxx etc.
Dunno, maybe they are watery, tasteless soap suds but i suspect these beer snobs are missing how effing hot it is, here at least-you want something you can slam down, chilled to near freezing without waiting to notice its aroma or delicate flavours.
Fact is, i havent tasted a huge variety of beers, so will see what happens.

the real beer lover would never consider a scrumpy. LOL
BEER is made to be THICK & DARK with lots flavor and Flavanoids.
i wouldn't even consider trying anything else
same goes for light beer. the 'light' beer is crafted for those that don't like beer in the first place
to those peeps i recommend wine coolers blah
