Home brewing

[HandyAndy888]

This is probably a dumb question but can beer be made from anything other than grains? I know some spirits are made from other stuff but I've never heard of beer being mad from anything but grains.

Wheat perhaps?

My experiences with home brews seem to have only ever been with the "rugged and buggered, aussie battler" types who always seem to have too many days at the end of their money, buy crap old VN's and Falcons because they are cheap, then spend (not much good money after bad keeping the clunkers on the road (in a dangerous state of repair). ... If ya can't afford to go down to the local IGA and buy a few can/s or stubbies/slab or whatever when on special; don't drink at all and chuck the balance into your super, cause you are gunna need it.

Them's fighting words, my wife is on the warpath - look out

Wheat perhaps?

Well unfortunately wheat is classified as a grain.

After doing some research it seems there are some beers out there that are gluten free and use very little grain or grain products. That's better I guess but they are also usually much more expensive and there is buckleys chance of home brewing them.

done it on and off for a number of years. Really enjoyed it - except for the cleaning.

Have a dishwasher now - so thinking of getting bck into it.

You can make some really nice tasting beer, if you tweak some of the recipes.
