Anyone brew their own BEER??

Sheesh, when I started brewing, had no choice but to read the best books of the time. There was no WWW. We did, have email digest; I was on the original Home Brew Digest. Came out once a day. TBN and it's creators weren't even born then There were some of the .net forums, but few people had a computer, much less access to them.

I knew a home brewer back in the 80's and one Saturday I went to his house to help brew some beer. I had read a book or two and watching him helped but I was living in apartments and small condos so I did not really have the space to store the gear much less the beer plus I really did not have the time to brew. Then a guy at work showed up one Monday talking about making beer and that was that. I found some of the youtube videos, bought what I needed to brew and off I went. The videos really helped answer questions I had had for years. One concern I had was filling up the bottles. Back in the 80's I don't think they had the bottle fillers dohickeys I use to today. Filling the bottles was something that did not look fun back then. Not a real joy today but it is not that big of a deal.

I was going to use them for cider but never got around to it.
lol thats what I have in my clear bottles, great minds think alike

Bottling bucket is worth its weight in gold when it comes to filling bottles.

The bottling bucket and the bottle filling wand dohickey are WONDERFUL. Though if I could keep 8-10 kegs on tap that would be better! :thumbsup::drink::dance1:
