Picture this. Your kitchen is a brewery.
Seriously! Countless people around the world have turned on their stovetop burners and brewed a batch of beer. For many of us, it’s an infatuation in the spirit of baking, barbequing, and other culinary pursuits; where creativity and adventure are rewarded with incredibly tasty beers that were fermented in closets, basements, and garages. It’s truly something to love.
