Frequently Asked Questions The Basics Why Should I Make Beer? Beer has been made for thousands of years, and up until prohibition in the US, it was just another part of keeping a house. Almost everyone made beer or at least had a friend that did (possibly because it was safer than water in a lot of places). They think you should brew because there's nothing better than inviting friends over, giving them a beer, and saying "I made this!" It's carbonated. It's alcohol. It's beer, and because you used fresh, whole ingredients and brewed it the way people have for centuries, it's really good beer. Does It Taste Good? Yes! Homemade beer tastes great. When you brew using the same grain, hops, and yeast that craft breweries around the world use, you can make some really good beer -- beer that's as good if not better than what you'll find in stores. When you make it at home, you know where it was made, and you have access to the freshest beer you'll ever taste. How Much Space Do I Need To Make Beer? They originally designed their Beer Making Kit for New York City apartments, but they soon discovered that people across the country didn't want to dedicate an entire kitchen (basement, or garage) to making beer. And although they think their kit is pretty nice to look at (especially when it's full of beer), they never wanted to see it if they didn't have to. That's why their kit takes up less than 1 square foot of space. They usually leave theirs in a closet or under the sink while it's fermenting. The only rule is you want to keep it somewhere dark. How Is Their Beer Making Kit Different From Others? Their Beer Making Kit takes the brewing process used in craft breweries around the world and scales it down to fit on the stovetop. They wanted to simplify brewing without dumbing it down by making it feel more like cooking. If you want to turn it into a science project, you can do that with their kit, and if you just want to make beer -- real beer from real ingredients -- this is the only kit designed specifically for you. Can I Use Their Mixes To Experiment With My Own Recipes? Absolutely! One of their first customers turned their Grapefruit Honey Ale into a Ginger Honey Ale by grating fresh ginger into it while brewing. Brewing has a long history of people putting, what might be thought of as, strange things into beer, and you're limited only by your imagination. The same goes for leaving certain things out of your beer. If you can't find chestnuts (or are allergic to them), leave them out of the Chestnut Brown Ale. You'll still end up with a great, full-flavored English Brown Ale. All of their flavors are for you to brew, play with, and make your own. Where Does Alcohol Come From? Yeast is creepy, but it's also really cool. It turns sugars into alcohol. While brewing, you're extracting sugars from grain (usually malted barley). The liquid you're left with will become your beer. What Are Hops? Hops Do A Lot For Your Beer. They're Bitter, So They Balance The Sweetness You Get From Malted Barley. They Also Contribute Fresh Aromas To Your Beer That Can Range From Citrus, Pine, Flowers, Grass, Pepper, To An Old Man's Couch (Yes, Really). There Are Dozens Of Varieties Of Hops In Existence, And Every Year New Ones Crop Up. Beer Making Questions Other Than A Kit, What Else Do I Need To Start Brewing? If you've ever made pasta, you should have everything you need to start brewing. Except for what's in the kit, you'll just need 2 or 3 stockpots (6 - 8 quarts are ideal), a large strainer, and a funnel. Two weeks after you brew, you'll need bottles with swing-tops or a couple six packs of regular, non-twist-off beer bottle
