Isn't it called 'microbrewing' or 'craft brewing' these days?

Homebrew chat can fuck off.
We had a whole question dedicated to it. It was shit.

when decent beer and lager can be got for under £1 a pint, why bother making inferior stuff yourself?

Oh, definitely.
I miss working at real ale pubs greatly, running the cellar and having to continuously sample beers from across the country was excellent. I could be absolutely fucking wrecked by 10:00am during busy periods!

What sort of kit do you think has any effect on beer quality that is only available to commercial breweries?

(PsychoChomp, Wed 4 Feb 2015, 17:14, Reply)

The only thing i can think of is they possibly malt their own grains. I doubt many breweries even do that.

(PsychoChomp, Wed 4 Feb 2015, 17:24, Reply)

Judging by the shite that home brewers kid themselves is palatable?
All of it.
(old man river possible lesbian, Wed 4 Feb 2015, 17:26, Reply)

You're talking bollocks.
the only thing you need to brew beer is ingredients a container that wont react to the beer, somewhere with a sort of constant controllable temperature and time. In terms of expertise anyone with access to the internet can learn more in a weekend about brewing than the medieval monks in their caves could do in their entire lives.

If it's so easy then why is all the "beer" you brew so shite?

(old man river possible lesbian, Wed 4 Feb 2015, 17:37, Reply)

My beer is pretty good.
Major problem with homebrewers as a whole is that they show off their beer probably 2 months before it's properly ready.
(PsychoChomp, Wed 4 Feb 2015, 17:39, Reply)

what I don't get is "kits"
seems a bit like cheating, sort of like buying an old el past fajita kit and pretending you made it all from scratch.

I am interested in your previous thread talk of clones. I like big muscle men.
punk IPA, were they not selling that as a kit in their bars at Xmas.

Old man rimmer is just wrong. Again.

This is what I've ordered,

Expensive for an all grain kit but there's a shit load of hops in it.

if I were to do home brew I would probably just do cream ales, until I became the king of cream ales.
You follow boakandbailey or shut up about Barclay Perkins?
( d.r._and_quinch when will you be famous?, Wed 4 Feb 2015, 17:57, Reply)

I've never made a cream ale, I'll have to put it on a list of things to try.
And nope I've not seen either of those blogs I'll have a look.

I've got a batch of elderflower champagne going.
Should be ready for tasting in a week or so.
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Wed 4 Feb 2015, 17:38, Reply)

Do you live in new zealand?
Where did you get elderflowers from at this time of year?
(old man river possible lesbian, Wed 4 Feb 2015, 17:56, Reply)

frozen from earlier in the year.
