We brewed many batches, mostly varieties of ales and wheat beers. We grew 4 types of hops out in the garden to make our brews as 'home made' as possible. It's a great hobby, as long as you don't plan on making beer more cheaply than you can buy it. The fun really starts when you try adding exotic ingredients that you don't usually find in beer. It's true the bottle washing and sanitizing becomes pretty tedious. Our brewing activities trailed off before we got to using soda kegs though.
