We write about beer a ton on this site.  You probably taste a good amount of beer if you visit our site.  I’m sure you love beer.  But have you ever brewed beer?  We normally don’t talk about brewing beer on this site because it is not our aim to be about home brewing.  Still, I want to talk about brewing for just a moment.  Having brewed about 60 gallons, I can’t keep silent forever.

Brewing beer is easier than you might think.  Of course, there is a ton of consternation when you are watching over your first batch as though it were a newborn whose future was uncertain.  And you will do this.  But getting your equipment and brewing your first batch is a fairly economical pursuit.  You can make beer brewing as simple or as challeging as you want to.  Do you know someone who already brews?  He or she can be a great source of help and comfort when you are brewing your first batch.

One of the best and most classic books about brewing that could be extremely helpful, as far as information and beginning (and even intermediate/advanced) knowledge has to be Charlie Papazian’s The Complete Joy of Home Brewing.  This book has sold well over a million copies.  I can’t recommend this book enough, even if you don’t plan to brew.  The book really helps you get a knowledge about how beer works and builds your appreciation of this wonderful art that we call beer. 

Please consider brewing or at least arming yourself with more knowledge about beer.  We also have numerous articles on our site that deal with various aspects that go into beer.  It’s time to go a little deeper.
