This place has all you'll ever need.



I would start off easy, like doing a Pale Ale or Brown Ale. The lagers most of us are used to drinking are cumbersome to make unless you have the right equipment.



Also, keep in mind you can make up beer recipes as long as you have a sugar source, yeast, water, and a bitter agent (even that is optional). I brew hop-less beers using yarrow or wormwood as a bittering agent; you can also add spices to make them fun. Good luck!

Half my mom's ancestors have been river and canal bargemen and the opposite part have been brewers! There is not any wish for me. When we devour out, my husband orders wine and a pint of beer; the wine waiter continually places the wine in entrance of me and the beer for him! Then we must swop the glasses circular!
