What is the easiest (and cheapest) way to home-brew beer?
I’m looking to start a small scale home-brewery and don’t really feel like following the generic "Brew It At Home" kits. Looking for some originality. Any tips or hints (possibly a step by step process) would be awesome. Thanks.
After buying the Mr. Beer kit and brewing 2-3 batches (and ruining 1) I bought a couple of books, Home Brewing for Dummies, and another book whose name escapes my memory. Both good sources with references to other books and websites. My advice would be to go to your local bookstore (the bigger the better) and find/ask for the home brewing section and start reading, you will be amazed at the initial cash outlay just to get started with a small, basic home brewing set-up, so research it first, before you buy.
