Over the last couple of weeks I have talked to folks my age who helped their dads, uncles and even grandads make beer when they were kids.
They all talk about using a lightbulb under a 40 gallon ceramic kettle and opening cans of Blue Ribbon. I'm assuming they used pre hopped Blue Ribbon malt extract and just needed to heat the stuff up enough to get it to mix with water then add yeast. They also mention bottling by putting a teaspoon of cane sugar in each bottle and helping to cap.
I have the bottling part figured out, but I'm unsure of the brewing part. Has anybody brewed this way?
