Beer Home Brew Supplies
Starting a small home brewery?
In a couple weeks or so I’m gonna start a small brewing project. I was thinking about making my own supplies. Can anyone tell me what all I need and what I can make at home instead of buying. Or should I just buy a kit? Also if anyone has some good beer recipes let me know.
There are a couple of items that you can make depending on what type of system you want.
For full-mash systems you can convert an ice chest into a mash/later tun with copper tubing that has small holes drilled or sawed into it.
Also you can make a later/sparking tun from two large plastic buckets one of which has a gazillion small holes drilled through the bottom.
For extract brewing, you really only need a large pot, a ferment er, hoses, funnels and bottling gear (or preferably kegging gear).
There are a few books available that will show you how to make these items.
Get yourself to a bookstore and read up.
