Beermaking - Home Brewing
Having something that you can proudly share with family and friends is a satisfying outcome of a hobby. This is especially true when the process is no more difficult than baking a cake. Some people approach home beermaking cautiously, wondering if the end result will taste any good. With 10 years of experience, we can assure you: yes, it will taste good.
Think about it this way: Did you know that the largest selling chocolate chip cookie is Chips Ahoy by Nabisco ? It's true, but if you were asked if you wanted a Chips Ahoy or one of your grandmother's homemade fresh-from-the-oven chocolate chip cookies, which one would you choose? That's right, most of us would choose the chocolate chip cookie, the reason being that it's made special to your liking. Grandma adds the right kind of nuts or uses that special kind of chips in her own unique recipe. Whatever it is, you know they're the best.
Budweiser is the worlds largest brewery with Bud Light being the worlds largest selling beer. Just like the giant cookie manufacturer, they know what the majority of the population will drink. In home beermaking, you don't need to think about the rest of the population. You can custom fit a beer to your own unique taste. It will be one of a kind, something to be proud of and probably won't cost you any more than a can of Bud Light.
There's no magic to beermaking, just basic scientific and cooking procedures to combine gains, malt, hops, water and yeast to turn them into a golden bubbly tasty beverage. It's so easy, anyone can do it, as long as you are of legal drinking age.
We suggest that you start with a basic "all inclusive" kit. Our staff can help you pick one that suits your taste. Read about home beermaking so that you have some general knowledge. When you are sure that you have the right supplies and equipment, go ahead and start! That is where the fun begins!
The Cornhusker Beverage Mart has a large supply of Beermaking and Winemaking supplies. If there is something you want that is not on hand, special orders are easy and with a wide range of wholesalers, it's hard to stump our staff.
