So, can you brew your own beer in a one room apartment? OF COURSE! I started brewing beer in my college dorm *shhh don't tell anyone!* I just cooked up in the dorm kitchen and hid the kegs under my bed, which I had up on bed risers so they would fit easily.
So if I could do it in a dorm, you can do it anywhere! I started out with a "Home Brew Beer Kits" from the local department store and it was a definite waste of my money.
I just wanted to experiment with my own beer tastes and all I got out of the "Home Brew Beer Kit" was a taste that made me want to puke! I started talking about home brewing beers at a few sorority parties and found a guy that had been doing it for a while.
He took me to his place (and only to talk about beer, I promise!) and showed me the materials I needed and gave me a few recipes he had come up with.
Now, 6 years later, I'm still brewing beer for my husband and his friends! Practice and experimenting definitely makes perfect when it comes to brewing beer at home! So, how does a stay at home mom brew beer? Its actually very simple, but like I said before, practice and experimenting makes perfect! Remember that friend I told you about, well he made a great instructional book and video line on how to do it! He'll tell you the best places to find supplies, to understand the fermentation process, and all of the different grain brewings! He even gives out some of his amazing home brewed recipes! Being a stay at home mom I have plenty of time to keep experimenting with the brewing process and its a bit of an escape for me whenever the little ones are taking naps.
It keeps our family very social and we always have the football get togethers at our house, cause we have the "free" beer.
