How to make Cheap Homemade Beer- Home Brewing made easy

Money is a problem for almost everyone. While labor is cheap beer, the purchase of basic equipment is not necessarily the cheapest part. This can run $ 100 to over $ 500. This is a good amount of money if you live in a home.

Here are some tips I've learned over time, help save money. These can be used by anyone to save money. You will find this especially useful if no team yet, and I want to make it very affordable.


Buckets, globes, locks, bottles, nothing. Some beer makers are always out of the fans and wants to leave his clothes at a fraction of the price.

- Look at pawnshops in thrift stores, flea markets and other places of things. I've seen sells jars of age (balloon) for less than half the retail price. I bought a used bottle at auction for $ 7, and has a thermometer in it!

- Plastic trays are much cheaper than glass. You only need 5 gallons. Ask your local bakery or deli, if you have leaves. They just throw out! However, you have the lid. DO NOT USE THE LAKE CUBES! The smell is almost impossible to remove. Another great resource for the cube again, The Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart, paint stores, and so on. Turn the cube and are looking for HDPE 2 on it. This is almost always food-grade plastic. You must have a 1 "hole in the head of an anti-lock brakes or tube cut later. These cubes usually only costs $ 5.

- Check dollar stores for additional equipment. Stir the spoon, thermometer, measuring cup, or anything to be useful, for a brewery could.

- Stainless steel is very hard to find secondhand. Although the base of enamel-coated aluminum pans. I have used many shops are located. I bought an aluminum pot 5 gallon for $ 5!

- Reuse of yeast! Dry or liquid. You need glasses for storage, some dry malt extract (DME) and cleared yeast fermentation. You can reuse the yeast, many times. This will reduce the cost and give you more healthy yeast. Even if you do not know what in the glasses, buy new ones. Someone would have chemicals or oil in the second hand full of glasses.

- Make sure that easily scales at discount stores Wal-Mart and others.

My first stop of 1 pound will cost me $ 4, and my home workshop wanted $ 7, no.

Here is an example how to obtain the basic box is cheap, as long as you already have a pot of beer for cooking and some basic cooking utensils.

All prices are in euros:

Plastic bucket with lid - $ 5 baked goods to bottling bucket with spigot - $ 12 (Note: If you can get a free free extra buckets, nozzles, only about $ 3, much cheaper!) Anti-lock -- $ 1

4 feet of 3 / 8 "plastic hose to extract - $ 2 bottle capper - $ 12 bottle caps - $ 4 Put the thermometer in a bucket - Hydrometer $ 3 - bottles $ 7 - let your friends, that's what Bottle - 5 oz Basic has measurement scale - $ 5

These items may cost more than $ 50, but again, if you use the trick with the bottling bucket, you will save about $ 10.

I assume you have measuring cups, a thermometer, a long spoon, and basic cleaning products. This list is for the one-stage fermentation. The purpose of this list is to show, you can get basic care, very cheap. A $ 100 kit is not necessary. I always recommend a 2 step full kit, but that money is scarce, or simply not sure whether he will continue with this hobby, beer on a budget is definitely the right way
