Purpose of Brewing
I recently moved to a tropical Island, which has only two breweries. Neither one tastes good. I am forced to buy imported beer at very high prices, with limited choices.
I recently went to Germany and had the time of my life drinking all the different beers. When I returned I decided to become a home brewer.
I purchased a beer kit and started my first batch last week. My final goal is to make a wheat beer.
i am also just beginning to brew, my first isnt even ready yet (but iv sneaked a couple in anyway) but i am already hooked. i wanted to for a few years, never had the money for a set up, but i broke down spent some anniversary money, and here i am, googleing (yes, its a verb now) everything i can think of pertaining to the homebrewer. its (gonna be) cheaper, better, and waayy more satisfying, i also want to get my girlfriend to drink more beer with me, but she only likes a few styles, if i can clone some of these... i also have a dream of opening me own brewpub.
It was the Math. I found that there are only somewhere around 500 different beers available close by for tasting. But, there are over 1500-15,000 recipes available from books, the internet, and just plain imagination. It's the same reason I joined a Homebrew club. I can only make so many beers but I can taste all of the club member's beers too.

I do not currently home brew, but have been seriously contemplating it for awhile now. I finally searched the subject and ended up here. Hopefully this will get my feet off the ground.
I'm pretty new at this but I really enjoy "tweaking" the ingredients around to change ETOH content and flavor. It's a great way to make friends and influence people.lol
Why I homebrew (because I can) no seriously it has only been the last few years that I have tried to make my own wine statring with huckleberries, very good
as it is now cranberrys aperntently I did not get enough sugar the first time and am trying to re brew it adding more sugar, I am doing this just for the fun of it
I've always wanted to brew my own, but never actually had the extra cash to buy the kits. I've been asking for a kit for christmas from my wife for several years. Finally I got one for christmas this year and although my first brew isn't completely finished yet, I already have come up with the next two recipes. Just like sticky, my far off dream is to have a place where I have my beer on tap in a small pub, and my wife also supports the idea. Plus the satisfaction of actually brewing your own, and being able to serve it to your friends is pretty neat!
I was suffering from Hyper tension and the Doctor told me to get a hobby to relax and enjoy life.
I looked at Racing no way way to expensive.
I looked at music no way way to much commitment.
So my wife said you like Beer so why not try to make your own.
8 years later and much I am relaxed and enjoying my hobby Brewery.
Had some bad batchs but had even more good ones and that is what its all about.
Having fun and enjoying a cold beer with your friends.
It's something I've been interested in for years but I always thought it was a complicated process. When I actually checked into it and found out how easy it was, I knew I had to. I really enjoy cooking (and beer) and doing things myself (and beer). Brewing fit in perfectly. I look forward to having the perfect recipe for me and keeping plenty of bottles worth available at any time.
I brew for the BEER. DUH!!!
