PlaidJacket Posted July 3, 2018 Share Posted July 3, 2018 I gave it a shot many years ago and that's it. Mine wasn't any good. I've tasted a few home brews that were sorta OK I guess. But I learned brewing beer at home was not my thing. Starting a brewery wouldn't be anything I'd have advice on that's for sure. I've often wondered if all those 1000's of craft beers I see in stores are really money makers. Lot's of them sure seem to come and go. Beats me. Good luck with it.

MattM11 Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I've dabbled in the idea many of times. The kids actually got me a pretty cool kit for Xmas that is still sitting in the same place. Honestly I just need to find the time to embark on that journey. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattF Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I've been home brewing for over 10 years now. In fact, I just did my first "big" batch 2 weeks ago. I usually brew 6 1/2 gallons but did a double of my usual beer (Dr Smurto's Golden Ale) at 13 gallons. I racked then to secondary on Monday afternoon and will be bottling on Sunday morning, about 120 bottles. I would recommend investing in the Beersmith program if you're going to get serious about it as they have 10,000's of recipes and you can create your own or change one you're brewing to suit your taste. Here's a couple of pics of my gear. This is my Blichmann burner with leg extensions and boilermaker G2 20 gallon kettle. The burner is so much more efficient than a turkey burner. I got about 2.5 brews out of a propane tank using a turkey burner but can get close to 7 using the Blichmann. This is the rest of my gear in my brew corner of the basement. Bottle tree, floor capper, carboys, buckets, gadgets, grain mill etc. In the bag: Driver: Darkspeed X 9° UST Mamiya LIN-Q M40X Blue 7F4 Fairway: Apex UW 19° & 21° Project X HZRDUS Smoke RDX Black 5.5 Irons: JPX 923 HMP 5-PW UST Mamiya Recoil 95 F4 Wedges: T-22 Denim Copper 48°, 52° & 56° UST Mamiya Recoil 95 F4 Putter Sycamore 005 Wide Blade Bag: Fairway 14 stand bag Balls: Chrome Tour Cart: CaddyLite ONE Ver. 8 God Bless America, God save the King, God defend New Zealand and thank Christ for Australia!

No3PuttLaLa Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 Are you pre first batch or several batches in? Pre first batch. Once we move into our house I am buying a home brew kit and starting. I have a brewery down the street that has told me to bring in my brews for tastings and they'll help me out. He home brewed competitively for 15 years. If they end up liking something they'll put it as guest tap of the month.

RoverRick Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I have a friend that has been brewing his own beer for a several years and they are quite good. He is supposed to open his own brewery TODAY. Although it may not happen until this weekend. He bought the old Ice House and renovated it. In addition to making it there, he will have about 30 beers on tap. He is a surgeon so this ain't his day job, and has hired someone to run the place.

That's what I plan on doing is starting small while working my regular job. And hopefully get to a point to run the business. Luckily I'm in a great part of the country for a small brewery.

romeopapazulu Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I would really recommend getting one of the home brew bibles. I worked off of “How to brew†by John Palmer. He went to my alma mater so I may be a bit biased. There is so much info in one of these books than you can't infer from the super basic recipe guidelines that come with a kit. He also assumes you don't want to read the whole thing before your first brew so one of the first chapters is a knock out your first brew cliff notes. Then he gets into more detail later. The best advice I ever got was to clean and sanitize twice more after you think it is clean enough. It is amazing how a tiny amount of bacteria can turn an award winner into a down-the-drainer. If you can assist a friend or hunt down a home brew club in the area, you can get on the express lane to optimizing your equipment setup. I think this hobby can get worse than golf. It can take some time to knock out a batch, so gadgets that save time are a huge help. Getting slapped when your curiosity leads you to touch something you shouldn't is also a great way to learn!

russtopherb Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 I used to homebrew a lot but our current house really doesn't have a cool dark place for me to ferment. I liked doing it a lot and make some really neat concoctions. Most memorably a chocolate stout and a firecracker beer.

MattF Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 I'd love to brew beer for a living, but I'm going to end up serving it instead...I'll be buying a bar at some stage as part of my "retirement" in Florida.

Brian A Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Homebrewing is like golf, when its good, you feel such a great sense of pride. However if you're first batch doesnt turn out like you planned, dont be discouraged, it happens. Kits are great but take a kit and make it your own. For our wedding favors, we brewed 3 beers that we took basic kits and added to it. So far the reviews have been positive. If you have any question, dont hesitate to ask.

Headhammer Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Not any more, but have won many awards for my brews, started a homebrew club that still exists today and have had recipes published in home brewing books. Now its easier just to grab a nice 4-pack of high gravity stuff at the local beer store.
