Thanks, but please don't be. Making beer at home can be quite a simple, yet
very enjoyable, experience. You can buy malt extract in a can so you don't
have to worry about grinding up all the individual grains and doing it all
from scratch. This method tastes nearly as good as "all grain" brewing and
still far superior to anything you'll be able to buy in the store.

Thanks for a great post and educating me. Unfortunately, as you noted,
beer can be a big weight gainer, and I cannot nutritionally afford to
consume 5 gallons of it in any timeframe.

Maybe, in another life, I will not have weight problems, and then I
will try to brew beer.

Truly. Perhaps if we can acquire enough merit in this lifetime, we will
be reborn so genetically blessed.

Ah, fond memories! Ein Pils, bitte.

Making your own beer can be a serious
weight gainer. That was one of my problems with my weight gain. You have
to
figure that each 12oz bottle is somewhere around 200 calories.

It's not the beer, pal. It's your insistence on swigging down a half dozen
bombers on a Friday night.
Don't blame the beer.

"Beers don't make people fat. People make people fat." ?

I certainly have better control now, on low carb, than I did when I as
on low fat. And I still do drink beer every once in a while. It's
just that it is food (as you aptly point out) and typically has quite a
few calories, and I can easily drink two if not more beers. So, I'll
probably wait until I get to my goal weight before I try beer brewing,
and then I'll see if I can brew into bottles (no kegs for me!). That
way, I can keep some in the cellar and only put the ones I want in the
fridge. Lucky for me, I don't like warm beer.

I thought beer was a huge "no-no" if you were trying to be
low-carbohydrate? My sister and her husband won't go near it just now,
much though they love it.

When I was in Poland, one of the waitresses commented that the only word
any English (or American) seems to know is "Pivo", beer. Mind you,
their local brew was excellent!

My daughter says all you need to know in a foreign language is how to
ask for "Two beers, please!"
