Most beer drinkers have entertained the thought of getting involved with home beer brewing especially when they think of the cost of beer these days. There is something about the idea of having friends visit on a hot day, getting the BBQ fired up and bringing out your home brew, that is really quite enticing. When Jack started his home brewing, he was about to leap into it in a big way, until a friend told him that home beer brewing needs to be approached a little more cautiously. He said, "With home beer brewing, you need to dip your toes into the water before you decide to dive into it." And he was right. Jack really glad he had been there to give this advice. He dropped a little money on a micro-brewing kit. It wasn't expensive, and had everything which was needed to get started. His first dip into home beer brewing ended up with a very drinkable brew and one was pleased to share with his mates. They enjoyed the free beer too and several of them are now turning out their own home brew with mixed results but a lot of fun.
