I'm too lazy to read about it, what all is involved in all grain brewing?

You basically take many lbs of grain and leach all of the starches out of them in water, then you convert the starches to sugars by careful heating.  Its not that big of a pain in the butt, but it makes beer that tastes the way beer should.

To keep in the vein of this thread, it is also the first step of making moonshine

Here is what I know for sure....  it is legal for anyone to purchase grains, hops, yeast and water.  Whats really cool about grain is that in some states you don't even have to pay tax on it because it is considered groceries.  What you do with it from there is your business, not mine

I'm sure that beer is very bad, beer usually lasts like a year i think.

and yeah, anybody can buy a home brew kit. luckliy there is one about 30 min away from me. It will also make your house smell like corn flakes for a couple hours...when you brew...

oh, and it takes about a month, depends on the beer. but about a month.

It's it not legal to brew unless your 21+.  But no one is going to stop you.

Depending on the beer, it will last anywhere from a couple of months (lighter beers) to indefinitely (stronger beers can benefit from years or aging).  The only way to know for sure is to drink it.  As long as it's properly sealed, it won't have gone bad in a way that will hurt you.  No known pathogens can live in beer.

What part of it requires that you are 21? The part where you put the yeast in? Because untill that point, it has no alcohol content.

aye you can home brew beer, you can make wine, however i believe the law frowns upon liquor which "shine" is but its readily available pretty much

Bah. Pour in some orange juice and grenadine and watch the sun rise

That's why there's Octoberfest...to get rid of all the beer made last year.

Law frowns upon distilling because you can blow yourself up along with things that are close to you.

About the old homebrew, the guy a few posts up is right.  It depends on what your grandpa made.  If he made a pale ale, it's probably pretty gross.  If he made a barleywine you're going to be just fine.  Open it, pour it, smell it look at it and drink it.

It's actually illegal to distill alcohol, you have to have a permit to do it legally. But you can buy a distiller for distilling water, or oil...

You can even distill alcohol to use as fuel, I believe.  The real reason it's illegal to distill drinking alcohol is becuase they can't really tax it.

As for the 21 bit, I don't know which act specifcally makes it "making beer" and therefore illegal, but I just know that the law specifies you must be 21.  But like I said, no one's going to stop you.  Just go to your local homebrew store, buy the stuff, and get started.  It's a ton of fun.

yepp thx i forgot about the taxation issue
