Have you ever thought I should make my own beer? I never did, but after my first batch I don’t know why I didn’t start sooner. Nothing is better than sipping your favorite beer and thinking for the price of two six packs I could have 50 beers. I experienced this when drinking a Clone of Rogue Dead Guy.
When brewing an all grain or partial mash beer you will have leftover spent grain and need to do something with it. See suggestions for using spent grain.
I started with a Brewers Best Beer Kit purchased locally.

What I will do different on batch two:
When making my second batch I did a few things different, first I added an extra container to hold cleansing solution.
Use a wort chiller (Home built)
Transfer to a secondary fermenter – To help clarify the beer.
As I make more beer I will be posting the progress and letting you know what I have learned to save you time and from making the same mistakes.
