Supplies for Home Brew BEER:
WHAT YOU WILL NEED: Make sure you have all the necessary supplies BEFORE you start!! Check your local Brew store for the necessary supplies...shipping can really add up on some of the larger items!
- One Step Cleanser
- Beer Kit or Beer Ingredients
- 6 Gallon Pail (One)
- Large Stainless Steel Pot (to boil water)
- Rubber Stopper &; Air Lock - we have several extra Air Locks just in case 1 breaks, they are super cheap and can really make or break your brew!
- Thermometer
- Siphon Hose
- Racking Tube
- Large Spoon (long enough that it can reach into the bottom of your bucket)
- Bottle Filler
- Bottles (ask friends and family to start collecting bottles, or check your local brew store for their old bottles...they usually sell them alot cheaper than the new ones!)
- Super Grunge Remover (or similar item) this will be necessary if you are using recycled bottles that you need to get the sticky icky labels off!
- Bottle Caps and a Capper (not necessary if you are using a keg)
The easiest option would be to buy a home brew kit but that isnt always the least expensive option. Check garage sales and craigslist for wine kits and carboys. We got our kit at a garage sale for $10. Then if a few items are missing they are relatively inexpensive to replace instead of spending hundreds of dollars upfront for a home brew kit. We slowly collected our supplies over about a years time and then when we finally had all the equipment then we took off, be patient and save money :)
