I been thinking about home-brewing for year now, visited a couple websites about brewing and stuff along the years , But i'm leaning towards Mr.Beer mostly because i never brewed before, and i just want to get a feel of brewing, if anything i will waste $60 and two batches of sh!tty beer hahuau..
But if i really start to enjoy brewing i will be doing the more traditional approach, buying the hops unstead of the MrBeer mix and so on.
My Grandma used to brew a Non-alcahoolic beer, she used two kings sized bottle of balck- non alcoohilic beer, mix with hops and stufff i dont rmemeber now. then she would put the mix on a 5 gallon used paint container. let stand for a week or so. then she would bottle the beer into used 2 liter soda bottles and let ferment ther for one more week.
It tasted great the downside was i don't think my grand make really measured the sugar she put on the bottles so 25% of the bottles would eventually explode i mean really explode due the pressure building up.
