Getting Started With Homebrewing

Do you love beer?

If the answer to that question is “Yes!,” then you pretty much don’t need any other reason to get into homebrewing. But, here are just a few more reasons you might be interested:

• Discovering new and different beer styles
• Learning more about beer history
• Understanding where a beer’s flavor comes from
• Drinking your own beer!

These days it is INCREDIBLY easy to get started on your homebrewing journey and make excellent, tasty beer without ANY experience. That’s because the starter kits these days are full of premium products that will last you many, many years.

For my money, I recommend the Homebrew Starter Kits from MoreBeer. I bought my first kit from them almost 10 years ago and just recently picked up their newest version of the Premium kit to see how much things had changed over the years.

Let me tell you – these kits have EVERYTHING you need – including the beer ingredients!

I recommend the Premium Kit over the Deluxe Kit below for two reasons:

• The upgraded boil kettle (with both a thermometer port and a ball valve)
• Included wort chiller

The wort chiller is definitely optional (although it makes brew day much quicker) and can be bought later. The boil kettle, on the other hand, would have to be completely replaced to get those upgraded features which means it is a bit of a sunk cost.

If you just want to dip your toes in with the basics, the ‘Deluxe’ Kit still has everything you need to make good beer – check it out below.

Either way you go, you’ll be drinking your own delicious homebrew before you know it!
