Home brewing is awesome. It is when you brew beer on a small scale for yonon commercial uses.ur own consumption or 
I am interested in home brewing, but i would want a still in my basement so i could brew up some corn liker!!
I never had that. The greeks and romans were known to do both grape wine and beer to a small extent.
Those crazy Greeks and Romans.  They were into everything.  I have a theory that free beer was what got the pyramids in Egypt built!
There were laws against producing alcohol and were enacted and repealed from the Zhou and ming dynasties. Way back we are talking.
I am sure prohibition did not sit well with the Chinese,  with all of that rice sitting around.  No wonder they fought among themselves for centuries!!
I agree. The tang dynasty home brewing was a familiar chore in china and the lower classes had to make due with poorly filtered garbage.
Isn't that always the way.  The Incas built all of those stone roads in Peru, but  commoners were not alllowed to use them without royal permission.  They were for trade and the military.
