Recipe Collaboration Exchange – Building Better Brewers
One thing I absolutely love about running this website is that I was able to have so many great people join the forum and contribute.

Why Mr Beer?
It’s kind of funny to hear the different responses you get when you mention Mr. Beer! Many old-school home brewers tend to have a less then favorable view on the “novelty” beer kit. I’ve heard things like “You can’t brew real beer with that.” and “It’s a waste of time and effort when you only get 2 gallons of beer…”. But there are others that look at these simple beer making kits as a starting point or gateway into an obsession , umm, eer a hobby, yeah hobby, that’s it!
