Home brewing!



This is a hobby that I have started this year and I LOVE IT!!! It all started with a love for beer and a basic beer brewing kit. I started by brewing an apricot wheat beer and despite a lot of mistakes in the brewing process it turned out great! It was a little cloudy but it had a great taste and a smooth apricot finish. It felt amazing to make my own beer.



It started an addiction, so I bought another kit right off the bat, I decided to stick with wheat beers and tried a strawberry wheat beer. It turned out like crap, but hey thats part of learning. I bought a larger brew pot and a few other things that make brewing easier.

I'm now on my 6th batch. It has become a great hobby and I don't see me stopping any time soon. However I am thinking about branching off in to wine making....

  2. Maybe you could start a moonshine business, and because it's illegal you wouldn't have to report it for taxes. You cold buy a large lot in the hills to hide it! Then I will build a cabin on the lot to make it appear normal. Win Win!

  3. You know home brewing beer isn't against the law right? I can brew 200 gals a year according to federal statutes. Besides I'm not a hard alcohol kind of guy.
