The 5 Biggest Myths About Home Brewing Beer
Whether you’re just starting to think about brewing your own beer or you’ve been brewing your whole life, you’ve probably come across a lot of misconceptions about home brewing. Maybe some of the things you’ve heard have even stopped you from trying home brewing before.
Well it’s time to bust those myths!
Here are the five biggest myths about home brewing beer:
5. Home Brewed Beer Tastes Funny
Nope! In fact, most home brewers will tell you thatt home brewed beer is just as delicious if not better than store-bought beer. This is because home brewed beer is usually much fresher than anything you’ll find in a can. In fact, home brewed beers dominate most beer tasting competitions.
4. Home Brewing Beer Takes A Lot of Skill
False! If you can boil water and follow instructions, you can make beer. Home brewing is kind of like making soup – just a soup that has to wait 3 weeks to be ready. Yes, it can get complicated but you don’t have to make it complicated to brew great beer. Whether you use a pre-made ingredient kit or just find the right recipe, anyone can home brew.
3. Brewing Your Own Beer Isn’t Legal
That’s just not true! Brewing your own beer is legal almost everywhere. In the US, Congress even passed an act in 1978 allowing individuals over 21 to brew up to 100 gallons of beer in a year at home. Want to know if home brewing is legal where you live?

2. I Won’t Be Able to Make Anything That Tastes Like My Favorite Store-Bought Beer
Wrong Again. Whether you love Killians, Heineken, or Sierra Nevada there are literally hundreds of recipes out there designed to help you clone the taste your favorite beers. All at a fraction of the cost of buying beer from a store.
1. Home Brewing Costs a Lot of Money to Start.
HELL NO. Most people think in order to start brewing beer at home, you need to spend at least $100. In fact, the most common mistake new home brewers make is spending too much on their brewing equipment. (And we’re sure lots of brewing supply companies would love to keep it that way). The truth: You can start brewing your own beer at home for only $43.
