Home Brew Forum

Home Brew Forum

So what do people talk about in a home brew forum?  I never knew there was such a thing as a home brew forum until yesterday. I have a buddy from way back and I imagine he goes online to one of the many home brew forums for information or whatever.

Curious creature that I am, I set forth to find a home brew forum and take a look at the insides if I could. To my surprise there are many different varieties of home brew forums available for the brewing enthusiasts.

Some sections focus on the how to process, like how to start making your own home brew. Other sections share good information on where to find home brew supplies.  Some home brew forum categories put their focus on wine or mead or cider instead of beer.

It was actually fascinating to learn there are so many different approaches to communicating with other people with similar interests in home brewing. Actually one major home brew forum gave me an immediate connect to their site at Twitter. There is a really social group out there for sure.

Here is a short list of categories I found at one home brew forum:
Brewcast.tv
Homebrew Swaps
Beginners Kettle where beginners are welcome and no questions are stupid.
Beer Classification
Brewing Equipment
Home Brew Recipes
Brewing Techniques and the list continues.

Now I know if there is ever a time I want or need to know more about beer, or home brew, I can go to an online home brew forum and look around for some answers.  I noticed most of the posts were user friendly and polite and they stayed on topic.
