Home Brewers

Yeah my Chocolate Beer experiment in college never worked. RATZ - missed my opportunity to be a bazillionaire!

Any home-brew I made, and I've made my fair share, was like 10 times more potent in alcohol than any store bought beer. There's no regulations and cold-filtering requirements for home brew.

10X is a bit a a stretch, that would be 50% alcohol lol! Mine is roughly .4% stronger than say a Miller Lite. Even that marginal amount though, you can tell the difference.

I'll probably never get into making something that requires more skill like a stout or a bitter, I really just want a nice lager to enjoy after working in the yard or share with friends. They say if you let it age for a while it can even get better so I plan on holding some on and compare it with my next batch.
