I wanted to add that extra touch to my ale so I designed my own beer labels and had them printed by a British labels company who did a excellent job. It has made my beer bottles look really great!

I've brewed my own at a place. Good stuff. Not for the weak of heart. I'm pretty sure that if you brew your own beer, there is no such term as 'lite' beer. Cheers!

That's a beautiful way to save money! I had heard of the home kits but I didn't think it would be easy. Maybe I can put this on a wish list with the holidays coming up? thanks for the article! Wow.

I'm from Ireland, I could drink your average US sailor under the table at that time, but god that stuff would knock me out. I've been quite leery of home brew since those days.

From you post, it seems that making beer is not too hard and taste quite good. How long before I'll see Lazy Man Beers in the grocery store?

Since my neighbor works for Sam Adams, she has to brew her own beer every year. We tried it again this year, better than last. I think I'd rather drink her free beer from work.

It didn't turn out too good. (I don't think Mr. Beer is the way to go!). I have a friend who is very serious about his home brewing and has quite a lot of money invested in brewing equipment. He makes excellent beers! He usually uses premium ingredients, so I think his costs are a little higher. But his beer is worth it! I tried making beer (my brother gave me the Mr. Beer home brew kit).

My costs are about the same as yours, though I scavenge for used bottles to make that part free. If you're getting started you might want to check out the Home Brew Talk forum ( http://www.homebrewtalk.com/ ), or John Palmer's online brewing manual ( http://www.howtobrew.com/ ). Both are great free resources for beginners. I do this too and it’s great, both in terms of the savings and the fun of putting your own touch on the recipes.

Dong: Good use of quotation marks there, I don't see the see the problem ;-) David: Nope, it's always been good. I have to admit that it doesn't always look like something that you'd drink before the filtering process, but afterwards it was fine. Of course for every batch we make, we test ourselves first before we'd bring it outside the house or serve to other people. Toby: I enjoyed that video, thanks for sharing it.

It can get pretty strong in a few months. But hey that's not a bad thing... The only “problem” with homemade beer is that it doesn’t stop fermenting. It can get pretty strong in a few months.

For the beginner though, I think it's best to start with something as ready out-of-the-box if possible. If your equipment is faulty it will ruin the whole experience.

Another thing to keep in mind is that you can easily assemble that kit on the cheap. I know a donut shop where they give those buckets away and the more obscure components--like airlocks and hydrometers--can be picked up from your local brewer's supply store.
