In the lead up to Christmas I started looking into growth markets during 2009, there are not many industries doing well, so I thought I’d hit the high street to find businesses that were benefiting from recession, beer at home namely “Home Brew” is one winner up in takings by more than 300%.
Many questions were asked while visiting one small “home brew” shop in the small town of Kidsgrove, Staffordshire, the answers were so positive I felt it time for me to join in and try it out for myself.
I purchased 1 x food quality brew bin 1 x pressure barrel 1x beer kit starting off with a cheap £7 Young’s kit, well one week in the bin mixed only with sugar and water then transferred to the beer barrel, in just two weeks I could not wait any longer it had to be tried, taking a small wine glass I poured a small measure and looked at this near perfect beer I had made myself well the taste shocked me, as you may guess with the odd visit from friends and family the barrel was empty in just over one week. I have since made some 4 kits ranging from cheap £7 to £19 kits the more expensive kits require no sugar however my findings on the more expensive kits will be printed here in the next week or so.

Well folks more on the “home brew” front, last week I purchased more equipment, another pressure barrel and two more beer kits, they are in fermentation bins as we speak.
Made a more expensive beer kit two weeks ago, normal stuff really made in bin for 7 days at 22 deg then 3 days in the pressure barrel for 3 more days, transferred to the cold just 5 days and again hey presto another superb pint, wish I could leave it longer.
Seems the real ale secret is cleanliness, sterilise every piece of equipment, the fermentation bin, can opener, plastic mixing paddle, even the tin containers the home brew comes in, I’m new at this and two fantastic brews with more on the way.
Any home brew tips?
Maybe it’s time for wine next year.
Any thoughts/ideas
