Homebrewing. A beer homebrewing kit consisting of hopped malt extract, yeast and instructions Wine fermentation vessels with airlocks Homebrewing is the brewing of beer, sake, and other beverages through fermentation on a small scale as a hobby for personal consumption, free distribution at social gatherings, amateur brewing competitions or other non-commercial reasons. Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages can be made at home. The term is also used informally for the production of non-brewed alcoholic drinks such as wine, cider and perry. Brewing on a domestic level has been done for thousands of years, but has been subject to regulation and prohibition during some time periods in certain places.

The legality of homebrewing varies from country to country, and some countries limit the volume an individual can legally brew. History[edit] Alcohol has been brewed domestically throughout its 7,000-year history, beginning in the Neolithic period in Mesopotamia (modern Iraq), Egypt, and China.
