I've been interested in brewing my own beer but from lack of space and money, i haven't gotten into it. However, I would really like to learn about it, so I'm all for food/beer/drink sub forum.
Yeah

The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, "You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done." -unknown

Also, if Coor's or Bud clones are what you seek, home brewing isn't for you. In the beginning at least, you will brew ale, which is fermented at basement temperatures (60F-70F) and tastes fairly strong. "Lagering" is fermenting beers at lower temperatures (40F-50F). Lagers and Pilsners are the beer styles most people are familiar with. They take much longer to ferment, and require a temperature controlled cold environment, but the finished product is very smooth and light in comparison to ale.
Cider used to be very easy and fun to make, but newer laws require the addition of yeast inhibiting preservatives in all juices. Finding unadulterated cider is a back alley trade these days. I can't find anyone willing to sell me any in less than wholesaler quantities.
