So for Derek's birthday last month I ordered him a beer kit. We've had a few friends make their own and he's been dying to try it out. I went with one I found on Amazon that had a ton of positive reviews and kept the process simple. It ended up taking just under a month for everything to ferment and the process was quite simple.
For our first batch we tried the Mexican Cerveza and it was delish! In the end, it's a very inexpensive way to make beer and we can't wait to try out another blend soon. If your needing a gift idea for someone in your life who enjoys a good brewha, I'd recommend a basic beer-making kit!
One of my co-workers and her husband own a brewing supply company in our town (called "Bad Teacher Brewing Co."). Apparently, brewing your own beer is getting quite popular. We even have a "Micro-Brew Festival" here. If I liked beer (and wasn't knocked up), I might just try it. But I guess I'll stick with lemonade.:)
ReplyDeleteOoh what a great idea!! I'm pinning this for a Christmas gift idea!!!
ReplyDeleteAWESOME idea! A certain someone has a birthday in a few months. This will be PERFECT!!
ReplyDeleteGreat gift idea!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great gift idea!
ReplyDeleteI got one for Nate for his birthday this year and he loves it! He's already made two batches so far! :-)
ReplyDeleteKyle has the same beer kit and he loves it! We have saved so much money by him brewing his own. He's bottling another batch today.
ReplyDeleteCool gift!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! My husband (Derek) and I (Sara) just started brewing beer! We got our brewing system for Christmas, though, from Derek's parents. Our first batch was so much fun! I'm glad yours turned out - I was so worried the whole time, but our wit turned out pretty tasty!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool gift my husband would love that!
ReplyDeleteI love the title of this post. Hey Tuna, will you beer me some water?
ReplyDeleteI love the last picture. Derek looks very satisfied with his brewing skills! :)
ReplyDeleteI did this for my husband's birthday last year as well! His beer was good, not great, but we are definitely going to try again! Thanks for the reminder! Glad your experience was great!!
