I have made my own beer many times. There is a liquor store near my house that sells all the supplies, i.e. malt syrup, hops, yeast and raw sugar. I have made beer that was quite tasty and also some that tasted awful but would give you a nice buzz.

Yes - and wine and brandy

Yep! lots of times. For some reason it never tastes as good as the professional stuff. BUT! Mine is always stronger. And real cheap to make.

I have been a home brewer on and off for twenty-five years. It's a terrific hobby the produces an excellent product. If you observe good sanitation and use a little creativity the difference between home brew and most commercially produced brew is like the difference between a good loaf of home made bread and wonder bread. For the beginner and well any brewer I would recommend The Complete Joy of Homebrewing Third Edition (Harperresource Book) (9780060531058): Charles Papazian Relax and have a homebrew!

My dad used to when I was little and for some reason I remember it rather vividly, the texture of the yeast cube, the smell of the hops, the feeling of stirring it myself in the big white plastic bucket. I also heard it's cheaper and has more taste. All you're really paying the big boys for is consistency. Concerning moonshine laws I THINK it's not illegal to make your own, just to sell it without paying taxes.

Yes, many years ago we brewed our own.
