I've made two batches with a friend who's got the gear. He got really hooked and we tried to make it a regular thing, but I just didn't care too much for it in the end.

I home brewed for years, graduating from kits in the early 1980's to full mash brewing up until a few years ago. I found that the problem was, whilst I was brewing some really lovely beer, I simply drank too much of it, gained weight and ended up with type 2 diabetes. I used to have some great recipes for a Marstons Pedigree knock off and a Fullers ESB , and whilst they weren't exactly the same, they were a lovely drink. Its great fun and if you like good beer I would encourage anyone to have a go.

I can afford to put away one evening every other month to get a brew going.
I suppose you have hobbies too, other than socializing with us idiots here?
Sometimes I play golf as well, even though the guys on PGA do it better than me, I still enjoy it.
Besides, I'm not a cash millionaire, brewing will save me money in the long run. I made 5 gallons from £45 worth of grains. Store bought here would cost me £200.

Sorry to hear about your diabetes. I'm only had one brew so far and I made mistakes along the way, but it turned out surprisingly well. It's simpler than I thought!
Golf is better to play than to watch. In fact, it's an awful spectator sport.
Surely the one and only point of alcoholic drinks is drinking them?
Now with the mark up on sale there, that's a product worth producing yourself.
As is tobacco for that matter. Just don't tell that thieving bastard taxman

A bit like food, sure I like having it prepared, preferably at a restaurant, but I can make some decent stuff myself as well. At a fraction of the cost.

Personal use only mate.
That was my point. Even a rich person's time is worthwhile growing their own.

If you can brew tea, you can make beer. It's really quite simple.

I'm a complete novice. Bought this
It's called BIAB, brew in a bag, and it's a cheap way to get started. If you got money to spend, check out Speidel. Google BIAB and Speidel, watch some youtube vids and see what would suit your wallet / kitchen the best.

Did you think this was a bucket and wooden spoon job?
I genuinely did, yes.Did you think this was a bucket and wooden spoon job?
Having seen good wine being made with centuries old kit, I assumed beer would be the same.
