Not if you brew it in a a large enough container. :lmao:

Actually, no, never did. I will help you test it though.

I have with the Mr. Beer kits. Not as much work involved as real home brewing. I made a few very good batches.

You've never been invited to "Test" practice-run home brews before, have you?

Brewing is not "black magic"! Get a good starter kit (google it). The key is to keep everything sterile, (bad microbes make skanky beer)! Don't expect it to taste like a mass produced domestic beer. It will have more of a european flavor and is enjoyed a chilled vice cold temps. Go for it!

A good place start is here: www.howtobrew.com. Johns a great guy and I highly recommend you read his book before you get started. Stay away from kits like Mr. Beer and the Beer machine if your serious about truly learning how to make beer.

I've been brewing for about 8 years and can definately answer any questions you may have regarding the best way to get started. One of my favorite online homebrew suppliers is click here. Northern brewer also has a forum where you can get some very quick answers to very common questions.

Be carefull this a great hobby, before you know it you could be buying 50 pound sacks of grain and kegging.

Southern Maryland homebrewers unite! We should look at starting a brew club.

Agreed! We have not brewed but would consider. We do have a kegerator. Hophead what IPA do you like best that one could get locally?

HopHead · Aug 5, 2007

Be careful! Brewing can quickly become an obsession. As for IPA's, it is difficult around here for really good ones. So far I'm sticking with Magic Hat's #9, which you can get in a keg locally. My all time favorites are Pike's and Stone.

Somebody was telling me that they used to have "brew parties"...brewers get together and brew a batch (or several batches). When that beer is ready, they have another party to brew the next batch(es) and sample the new beer(s).

Anybody interested? I haven't brewed in a couple years...

Geek · Aug 5, 2007

It can be messy, but makes the house smell so good. Have beer on hand when brewing your first batch, you will want one :cheers:

That's exactly what I'm talking about!! Nothing formal. Those health nuts have running and biking clubs, why not a brew club for us enthusiasts?
BTW Geek, I got bannished to the back yard about ten seconds after my first boilover.

There used to be a place up near Annapolis ( I think) where you could go to a school and learn to brew your own beer. You paid for the supplies, brewed it, then went back to bottle it. Did a quick google on Maryland homebrew and nothing looked familiar, however here are some local links for supplies Annapolis home brew and Maryland homebrew ( Columbia ) A couple years ago someone opened a homebrew shop in the Leonardtown area but don't know what ever happened to it.
