homebrewers
DIY beer makers
Homebrewers are people who brew beer, wine, or other alcoholic beverages at home rather than commercially.
The hobby ranges from beginners using basic kits to enthusiasts who control every variable of fermentation: The homebrewers club meets monthly to share recipes and taste each other's batches.
The term extends to anyone who makes something themselves rather than buying it ready-made, especially in computing and gaming.
