Home brew beer is a hobby I first got into while I was only about 14yrs old
Homebrew beer was very popular at the time with dozens of different homemade beer kits available in most of the supermarkets and chemist shops. 2 or 3 friends and myself would get together and go and buy 1 or sometimes several home brew beer kits, usually a few weeks before the start of the school holidays so it would be fermented and ready to drink for the start of the summer holidays, when we would camp in our gardens, get drunk on revolting, badly brewed homebrew and be sick in each others shoes.
So why did we get into home brew beer?
Well there are several good reasons.
First we were under the legal beer drinking age but we were a bit of a wild bunch and liked to get drunk, so home beer brewing was an easy way for us to have almost unlimited access to highly potent homemade beer.
Secondly even though ordinary, regular beer from the off licence was cheap, it was still too expensive for us school kids to be able to buy sufficient for a few of us to be able to go out and buy enough for a party.
Thirdly it became a fun (and profitable) hobby. Most hobby’s cost you a lot of money but making your own beer saves you money because you no longer need to go to the pub or off license for your beer and as everybody knows, money saved is money made.
To begin with our beer making efforts resulted in some pretty horrible brews, foul tasting, cloudy (like a dirty river in full flood), full of sediment and almost guaranteed to make even the most steel stomached of us sick after just a few bottles.
Gradually though, after trying out pretty much every home brew beer kit on the market and experimenting with different brewing techniques we began to learn that home beer making could actually produce better beer than that available commercially.
Of course for most of us anything that we can do well will often become something that we enjoy and as I have become a good beer drinker these two hobbies (brewing and drinking) compliment each other perfectly. It’s just a shame it took me so long to get to the stage my beer was at least as good as the mass produced beer.
Thankfully beer aficionados now don’t need such a long and stomach churning learning curve before they can become an expert in homebrew beer as there are plenty of very good and informative websites dedicated to home beer brewing.
