Don't wait for the perfect moment......Take the moment & make it perfect.
Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass.....It's about learning to dance in the rain.
Double shot!!
A mate down the road used to make his own beer. It tasted nasty and hit ya like a tonne of bricks.

"What Steve said pretty much summed it up."

Mine tasted alright but to get the good stuff and with the effort it was just easer to by a dozen in the weekend. I now make my own fejoa wine which is very nice.Mine takes about 6 months to make then if you can leave it for a year tastes even better and has a very good kick to it too. Basically if you can make beer you can make wine.
I may be slow at getting things but..... no wait I'm just slow.
Blowin up bikes since ages ago
koba does and it tastes nyummy and its cheap!
Also a work mate brews his own beer and cider and brings it in for Friday arvo drinks. He makes this one he call "Kanuka Beer" which he makes with Manuka Honey and *some other things* he could honestly sell it for a decent $$!
mmmmm beer......

it is an acquired art and generally made to the maker's taste - unlike that cheap shit in the red can with the oh so fake adverts.Originally Posted by SMOKEU
It is what it is

There was a thing in the "Sunday" magazine that comes with the Sunday Star Times - apparently, home brew is the new "Big Thing "(Tm).
Takes a bit of practice, but evidently you get there in the end.
I think we still have the mag - if you talk nicely to me I might send it to you. Or scan it for everyone's amusement.
Comfortably numb
I got into it a few years back. I prefer a fully flavoured (read English) style beer so went with the premium kits. Muntons and Ironmaster were the preferred choice
Good way to gain weight but !
Full of Titanium go-fast bits!
Ive done four brew so far, #1 and # 4 tasted beaut! #2 and #3 killed the bush we tipped it into
We found it quite hard to keep the temperature right, which is what killed the #2 &3 brews.
Easy, nice as, and puts hair on your chest, thats for sure.

I think slingshot had a thread on this a while back...Ive done four brew so far, #1 and # 4 tasted beaut! #2 and #3 killed the bush we tipped it into

If you have kept numbers 2 and 3 leave them for a couple of months and see what they taste like then, sometimes you can get lucky.
A bit of time spent developing equipment seems to be all it takes to hold the temperature good enough.
I use an old cardboard drum with a lightbulb in the bottom.
Settings are:
Stinking hot - nothing
Hot - 40wat bulb
Average - 60watt bulb
Cold - 60 watt bulb and an old coat over the top of it
Really Cold - Bugger making home brew, it's too cold.
You are right saying it is easy!
Oh , and a bit of a hint for any new or would-be brewers:
Don't use sugar.
That "Home-brew taste" is from sugar.
It makes it REAL cheap but its not THAT much more to just use 2 brewing kits for the same volume or make half as much with one kit.
It also needs to be left much longer.

Make beer, Cider and Mst. makes mead, occasionally.
Trying to get a passable American Imperial Pale Ale - almost got it right...started off on kits, but now they're highly modified kits - still not up do doing my own mash - yet.
Heaps of fun, reasonably cheap and, as Naki Rat says - tend to put on a bit of weight.
Also increases my knowledge of beer styles and tastes...

That would then be Mead not Beer.
Mead has been made for thousands of years, way longer than Beer
Arguing with an Engineer is like wrestling a pig in mud.
After a while you realise the pig is enjoying it.
