mmmm, beer
I have ventured into homebrewing. On Monday, I bought the equipment I needed - two separate kits - one contained the hardware and one contained the beer ingredients; I opted for a porter. The bottles were separate and I bought two cases of 12 oz. bottles yesterday.
On Wednesday, I made the wort. It's pretty easy and really just involves some boiling, some near boiling, a lot of sanitizing, and a few hours of time. Once the wort is done, I followed the directions and added water - to five gallons - then the yeast. After about 12 hours I saw the wort was fermenting. They say I should let this ferment for 14 days. After that, I can bottle them - then wait another week (I think, I need to read up on that when the time comes) . The batch I'm making should yield around 53 12 oz bottles.

Although homebrewing was legalized in the U.S. in the 1970's, I hope you took some time to make sure there are no odd township/county/locality laws prohibiting it, or at least severely restricting it. Enjoy!
Remember, that government is best which governs everything!!
Smooth, you're obviously one of those liberal terrorist worrywarts. So he bought a homebrewing kit? Who would ever know, besides anyone who logs onto his website and any online law enforcemnt officers who look up "homebrewing" on the Net?? Wait a minute...
