This is a question I seen that is on yahoo answers,”Is homebrew more fattening than normal draft beer?”. The url of this question is at http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091126221608AA0BwZL. The first answer is pretty much to the point. It is like asking is a home baked pie more fattening than store bought pie? lol. I could not agree more with Pyro4696, it is much better to have 2 good beers, than 4 low cal beers. Enjoy the taste without drinking to much. Add your answer to this question.

Did you know it is only legal to brew cider or wine only to 200 gallon a year in Oklahoma? According to state statue 37-505, nope not beer. Watch the video at http://www.kfor.com/news/local/kfor-special-reports-home-brew-beer-story,0,554702.story its cute. the Alcoholic Beverage Laws Enforcement (ABLE) Commission says they are only worried about beer that exceeds 3.2% alcohol, so if you are brewing low alcohol, we most likely won’t worry about you, we only have 25 officers.

Starting out with home brewing can be very easy to start with. What you want to do is keep it simple at first. Basicly all you need to start is one six-gallon fermenter jar with an airlock and some ready-made malt with hops, and you’re basically set to go. A nice article with a little more detail is at http://www.discoveryarticles.com/articles/295241/1/What-Every-Beer-Drinker-Should-Know-About-Home-Brewing-Beer/Page1.html. beer is made from four basic items: water, grains, hops and yeast. Anything else that is added to the recipe is used for flavor and to add distinction to homebrewed beer.
