Home-brew lager?

Hello all

As you can see from my username I'm a visitor from the Debt-Free wanabee board trying my best to cut back.

Wondered if anyone has tried home brewing kits, particulary lager,and whether:

a) it works out much less expensive than buying and
b) it tastes ok!

Thanks

    My dad used to make a lot of home brew and it always looked like a scientific process using thermometers and condensers. There are however some simple homebrew kits available from this site:

    I havn't tried them but someone else I know bought one for christmas and the lager tasted OK.

  • Hi in*the*red

    If you check our mega index (it's a sticky at the top of this board) in the cooking and recipes section there are a few older dicussions on homebrew listed in the drinks section.

    Hope this helps you find some answers
