That's something that could perk up the ears of those who dabble in hops and grains at home, because federal law has been very clear historically: Selling a home brewed beer is illegal.
All beer is made with just four base ingredients: malts, water, hops, and yeast. It's the specific kind and amount of each ingredient, and how you mix them together, that give us everything from the palest of pale ales to the darkest of stouts, and all the beautiful beers in between.
The True Cost of Home Brewing
For home brew, you have to invest in supplies, plus ingredients for each batch. ... That brings the cost of your first batch of home brewed beer to $141.25. That's $16.95 per six-pack! However, each additional batch of home brew only costs $32.25 (extract + yeast + caps).
California and the Federal government allow you to brew your own beer at home. ... Even if you brew only for yourself, you are limited to 100 gallons per year if there is one adult in your household and 200 gallons per year if there are two or more adults in the household.
So, how long does it take to make beer at home? Though the amount of time from start to finish can be as little as a month, most of that time is spent allowing the beer to ferment and condition. In general, expect to spend 6-10 hours of hands-on time brewing, and 2-4 months between brew day and drinking.
