GETTING STARTED
Getting started is easy! You just need to make a few decisions, we can help with the rest.

WHERE?
The first thing you need to do is decide is where you are going establish your brewery. Luckily
this doesn’t take much space. Your space may be limited and that’s OK. Many people start in
their kitchens, a spare bedroom, their basement or even a small closet.

EQUIPMENT?
What do I need to get started?
There are a several items you may already have at home, look around your kitchen for:
Measuring cup & spoons
Funnel
Long handled spoon
Cooking thermometer
20 Qt. or larger Stock pot for boiling
The rest we can help you with! We offer a basic brewing equipment package to get you started.
There are a number of items that are nice to have depending on what ingredients you plan to
use, but they are optional. We can tailor your package to meet your needs.

BASIC BEER EQUIPMENT  PACKAGE
Our basic fermentation package includes all of the equipment needed to make beer; if you
decide to venture into wine making this equipment can be used for that too!
We recommend brewing in a 2 stage system for better quality.

INGREDIENTS?
Next you will need ingredients:
You can make beer from canned malt, whole grains, hops pellets, dry or liquid yeasts or kits
which provide all of the ingredients you need.

The easiest way to start is with a beer kit.
Kits offer a wide variety of beers styles from around the world. Once you are comfortable with
the process try experimenting using different recipes, grains and hops.
The possibilities are endless, so the craft is always interesting!

Most Microbreweries started out in someone's home brewery!

and yeast varieties you will need.

BOTTLING & STORAGE?
This is the next stage of beer making.
How you would like to store your finished beer. For beginners we recommend bottling .
At Bottling Time You will Need:
1 Bottle Filler Tube
2 Cases of bottles (48 Bottles)
Caps & a capper
We offer a variety of products to choose from and we sell new and used bottles. We also sell
and rent bottle cappers There are several
cappers available, try them and decide which one you like; then purchase the one you like best.
We can also help you set up a keg system for your home and offer products that allow for
portability.

TIME REQUIREMENTS?
The fermentation process only takes a few weeks. The amount of time you will spend is up to
you. It depends on how many batches you want to produce each month.

COST?
By now you are wondering how much this will cost. You might be surprised. The cost of the
equipment is less than $100.00 and most of it will last a lifetime.
Depending on the ingredients you choose, anywhere from $15.00 to $40.00 will make about 48
bottles of beer. Your finished beer will only cost about $2.00 to $5.00 for a 6 pack - with beer
prices going up, this is a very economical hobby. Think about it – great beer for only $5.00 a 6
pack! How many hobbies give back as much as you spend?
