Supplies for Home Brew Beer

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 :)
