How Do You Make Home Brewing Equipment?
It’s possible to spend hundreds of dollars on brewing equipment in the belief that you get what you pay for. In this case, it’s not necessarily true. Brewing is a fun hobby that doesn’t have to cost a lot. In fact, most of the equipment needed is already in your home or easily obtainable for free. All that’s needed is a little time and creativity to turn ordinary equipment into brew friendly items. Start with a food grade bucket with a lid. Ask a local restaurant or deli if they have a four gallon sauce or pickle bucket they can give you. Clean the container thoroughly. Don’t use a container that has held anything other than food, no matter how well it’s been cleaned. Cut a hole in the lid just big enough to fit a length of food grade tubing (purchased separately) and set the lid aside. Build your own airlock using a glass jar with a lid. Cut a hole just big enough to fit the tubing. Punch additional, smaller holes around the large one. Put water in your new airlock, then screw the lid
