Anyone here brew their own beer? I just got back into it after a 15 year break. I'm now doing all grain beer. For about $200 you can buy everything you need to brew beer from pure malt grain and keg it in 5 gallon soda kegs. If you can make soup, you can make beer. Tilapia adapt quickly to eating the spent grain.

Once you have the equipment, the beer costs just 22 cents a mug. Hard to beat. I'm using all American ingredients. The malt runs me $54 delivered. I can get a pound of hops for $13. You use an ounce of hops to 10# of grain.

It is pretty low tech. I converted a 10 gallon water cooler to sparge the grain, and brew in a 6 gallon plastic bucket with a bubbler on top. I rack the beer to a clear 5 gallon platic carboy after one week. Week 2 it has cleared and I transfer it to the soda keg and carbonate for 2 days at #30, then drop the pressure to #5 to serve. Just about 2 weeks start to finish. I brew on Sundays for a continous supply.
