The Gift Of Homebrewing

Tis the season as they say.  What is better time than now to give the gift of homebrewing?

I am writing this post for a few reasons. I think we forget that friends and family may be good homebrewers but they just didn’t know where to start. Maybe a gift from their fellow homebrewer would give them the nudge they need.

For the readers who are learning more about homebrewing and want to take the plunge, send this post’s URL to a loved one as a hint to what to get you this holiday season.

There are a few different sellers of starter homebrewing kits out there. I would shop around for the best price. Some of the sellers we have highlighted in the past are:

Northern Brewer

Beer-Wine.com

    Another good link is http://www.makebeer.net/

    This site is owned by Cascadia importers who distribute Coopers home-brew products in the US .

    The Coopers Brewing Kit even comes with PET Bottles and is the perfect kit for the begginer because it comes with Hopped Extract .

  2. Thanks Matt!

    Hi, I’m thinking about getting my boyfriend a starter kit for Christmas this year but A. we don’t have a ton of room in our apt and B. he works a lot SO I was just wondering how much room and time a home brewing kit realistically takes up

  4. Good question:

    For some info on brewing in an apartment, check out this article:

    As for time, he’ll make the time. Seriously though, if you are just starting out, extract brews only take about 4 to 6 hours of brew/bottling time from start to drinking.
