 BeerBeer is one of the oldest known alcoholic beverages in the world. Some claim that beer was the driving force behind agriculture and therefore civilization itself. Beer was brewed in people's homes for much of history, and it's still easy and rewarding to brew at home today. The Home Brewing Wiki contains a wealth of information about beer and beer brewing, including information on:
|
 WineWine is another of the oldest and most culturally significant beverages in the world, and home winemaking is becoming increasing popular. While wine made from the fermentation of grapes is the most common, the same processes used on grapes can also be used to make country wine, cider, or perry from other fruits and vegetables. Our wine section is not very extensive at the moment; we encourage experienced vintners to get involved and help the site grow. | |||||||
 MeadMead is made by fermenting honey with yeast. It is sometimes called "honey wine"; many people believe that mead is the oldest of the alcoholic beverages. Mead has held a pivotal place in many cultures throughout its nearly 8,000-year history, and it is still enjoyed throughout the world. Our mead section contains basic information for beginning meadmakers on honey and the meadmaking process; we encourage experienced meadmakers to get involved in this growing section of the site.
|
 Other fermented beveragesOver the years, many ingredients other than barley, grapes, and honey have been used to create delicious and culturally significant beverages, most of which can be produced at home, often using the same equipment and techniques already familiar to experienced home fermenters. For example: The wiki also contains basic information on other kinds of fermented beverages as well as fermented foods that can be made at home. |
