Home Brew

===Beer=== Beer is the oldest known alcoholic beverage in the world. Some claim that beer was the driving force behind agriculture and therefore civilization itself. Beer was brewed in people's homes for much of history, and it's still easy and rewarding to brew at home today. Follow the links below for more information on...

===Wine=== Wine is made by fermenting grapes. Many Home Brewers do not limit themselves to grapes and brew "country wine" by fermenting other fruit and vegetables. |- |width="50%" valign="top" style="background:#fafdbd"|

===Mead=== Mead is an alcoholic beverage made by fermenting honey with yeast. Mead is not a beer, wine, or spirit in the normal sense; it is its own class of alcohol, and many people believe it is the oldest of the alcoholic beverages. Mead has held a pivotal place in many cultures throughout its nearly 8,000 year history, and it is still enjoyed throughout the world.
Traditional meads are made using only honey, water, and yeast. |width="50%" valign="top" style="background:#fbdae5"|

===Cider & Perry=== Cider (also known as "hard cider") in its simplest form is fermented apple juice, while Perry is fermented pear juice. Sometimes sugar or raisins may be added to raise the alcohol content and sometimes spices are added for flavor. |}
