Find Out First, Then Invest
Author: annie
I really had no intention for this blog to become a make beer blog and this is probably going to be my last one on beer for a while but I wanted to say this about starting and maybe you can avoid some of the mistakes we made.
When it comes to home brewing, that will only happen when you too can make your own beer at home. But a mature approach to this very adult hobby means checking it out and knowing the investment of time, money and space in the home before you spend your first dollar to get set up as a home brewer.
And there are almost certainly a number of home brewing societies and clubs in town that you can find out about online or through your local retail brewing supply store. So you will get plenty of chances to sit in with a new friend to step through the brewing process and not only learn what equipment you will need but how it is used as you get training from an “old pro” in home beer making.
If you do so you will have already witnessed that home brewing is a big event in the house filling up the kitchen, the refrigerator, making a mess sometimes and requiring places to store, refrigerate and ferment the beer in the various stages from ingredients to finished product.
If they can attend meetings at the home brewing club or go to competitions or other events that are all about home brewing, they can catch the same enthusiasm you have. By getting a feel for the equipment when you are preparing to start your home brewing hobby, you can prepare a storage space for the equipment when it is not in use.
