Like joining Amway, or the Moonies, homebrewing is superficially a legitimate way to save money, Uh, Ray!...? It's a hobby.

but actually a thinly veiled scheme to financially better yourself on the backs of your friends and their goodwill. No one brews just for himself; it's impossible to consume 8 dozen beer in the 10 days it takes for it to go from "fresh, terrible" to "even worse". That's why you put it in a keg. Bottle brewing is for plebes.

Their thinking goes, "I'll brew my own, and when people come over I'll offer it to them and we'll be good friends after that." Sorry, no. Buying friendship has a noble and storied past, but trying to buy it on the cheap conveys an inexcusable lack of respect for the monetary value of your friends' company. Have you ever fucking brewed beer, Ray!? It ain't easy. It's a curious blend of bulk cooking and science experiment. A start-up kit is a few hundred dollars for an adequate set, a few thou for a respectable rig, and the premium set-up busts the 10K mark. You can distribute/sell your shit locally with the expensive rigs. And it's pretty hard to fuck up nowadays, thanks to the availability of liquid yeast. Just be clean. And fuck, nothing smells like fresh hops, my friend.

If you don't care enough to buy them a proper beer, at least have the balls to offer them water. Oh yes! Use good water.
