home brewer

DIY beer maker

A home brewer is someone who makes beer, wine, or other alcoholic beverages at home rather than commercially.

The hobby ranges from simple kit brewing to elaborate setups rivaling small breweries: He's been a home brewer for fifteen years and has his own kegerator.

Home brewing became legal in the United States in 1978.
