About Homebrewing:

Homebrewing is a wonderful way to mix the science of chemistry with the creativity of cooking - resulting in a finished product that both lifts the spirit and relaxes the body.

John Palmer has generously made available a wonderful online reference covering a multitude of brewing topics, click here to view his documentation.


Homebrewing supplies:

So, you have a peaked interest now and want to get started, right? Follow one of the links below and consider buying a "starter kit" and a pre-formulated recipe, you are on your way to brewing greatness!

Here is a list of brewing supply stores, some I have ordered from, some I have not. Always compare prices and try ordering from a few different sources to see which one you like best.


Various Links:

Here are a number of interesting brewing related links. Take your time looking through the various sites, relax, have a home brew!

  • Brewing Calculator (The Cellar Homebrew)
    A great way to forcast what you will make based on a certain set of ingridients.
  • CyberBrau
    The CyberBrau recipe calculator will even give you alcohol content, calories, bitterness and SRM (color)!
  • The Beer Recipator
    Perhaps the premium online recipe calculator (and much more).
  • Gambrinus' Mug
    A great collection of recipes and an easy form-based approach to posting your own.
  • The Cats Meow
    Another fantastic recipe collection which consists of over 1000 entries. This listing does now allow postings and is a little old, so many of the recipes don't include some of the newer liquid (and far superior) yeast strains.
  • Wyeast Labs Homepage
    These guys know yeast and are my first choice for any recipe listed in my journal.

My Brewing Journal:

Click here to see my online brewing journal which contains a number of recipes and my thoughts on the successes (and failures) I have hand-crafted over the years. If you try a recipe, have questions or comments about the site, or would like to suggest a link - please email me as I would like to hear your thoughts.
