Time to get that self-brew project up and running
I have just started researching how to brew beer from scratch without a beer kit..
Its a bit complicated but might be possible.. I can get the barley here no problem as it is sold as fighting cock feed but it seems I need to malt and roast it first..
The next issue to get around is an alternative to Hops..
The only possible alternative I have found so far may be stewed tea bags.. (for bitterness)
Any advice from beer brewing experts would be much appreciated!(after election day)

Guess i will have to leave my special baby mice rice wine to ferment a bit longer
Jake.. Sounds interesting.. "Mice rice" you say?
Whats the brew like and will it get me as pissed as a rat?

We will have to start a proper home brewing thread..
