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.

Only one possible conclusion.

The Earth and all humanity is the result of a drunken stuper, perhaps a drinking game.

That does explain why men have nipples.

Influence of my brother was the main reason to brew. It was from him that I learned the great experience of brewing a unique thing of my own. From there it was through social contacts and self driven desire to make my own label.

How about something with history, quotes, recorded information, whatever. Not something shallow or entirely theoretical.

Not saying God doesn’t smile upon beer. I want to know why else monks (like the ones who brew the famous Belgian Trappist beers and the others located in their Abby and Monasteries throughout Europe).
Well, yes they brew wine but I’m concerned with their brewing of beer…

At least wine is used in a Holy Communion. You don’t see beer used in Church, though.
Let’s not forget Germany for many of its great beers, oikos…

There is no doubt the monks (and Nuns in a few cases) have been brewing beer for nutritional and economic reasons. Health can be considered as well since the brewing process happens to kill any harmful bacteria lurking in the water used. Monks brew for barter and cash income concerns. The revenue no doubt funds the day to day expenses of running the monastery but perhaps the local church and charties as well.

A couple of sites by well known sources I keep handy.
