Homebrewing is a hobby of making beer in your home. It can be done on a stove top with a very small initial investment, in a small-scale brewery with special equipment, or somewhere in between.

The legality of this varies from state-to-state. Look up your state’s law at the American Homebrewers Association website:

Check out some of the links on the right to get started or attend a local homebrew club’s meeting. If you came across our website and are not from Central Illinois, the AHA can help you with this as well:
