What else do you make at home that most people buy commercially?

[Rodent]

besides brewing, some of my favorite homemade foods include dry rubs and brine for smoking meats, my own sauces for BBQ, ice cream, pizza on the grill, salsa from what I've grown in the garden, and pressed cider

Hmm. Well, I also roll my own smokes. Reload ammo, and build my own rifles, mostly from old Mauser actions, but sometimes Remington 700 actions. Raise chickens for eggs and meat. Grow grapes, citrus, sweet potatoes. Build all my own furniture. Make sausage, and a lot of canning, mostly chickens and beans. My yard gets overrun every year with wild mustard, so I'm looking at making my own this year. I used to do a lot of silversmithing and gem faceting, not so much the last few years. Do all my own wrenching on motorcycle, truck and car, and household appliances. Lots of home improvement projects, just finished a major master bath renovation this last spring, kitchen is next. Naturally, I brew some killer beer, and will start growing my own hops this spring, but I'll continue buying the malts!

I guess there is a lot of interest overlap.

Hmmmm, lemme think. Used to make my own laundry detergent...worked as good as any commercial product at a fraction of the cost. Nowadays, I make my own "ranch" salad dressing, my own red seafood sauce for shrimp, my own tartar sauce especially for fish, and the usual bread and pizza crust dough. Now, if I could just figure out a way to print my own money...

Beer, but yeah.

I used to grow mushrooms. Some you can buy commercially.

I like making condiments like mayo, ketchup, bbq sauce, etc.

Pizza from a recipe my wife's grandmother invented many years ago.

That's way too intriguing! Maybe you could post it on the homemade pizza thread? Or a private message; I can keep a secret.
