First, I should give a quick little intro to my brewing name – unfortunately I don’t have an awesome or glamorous story, however, Tap This Homebrew (Tap This Brewing Co. one day), is the awesome name I came up with. The name came about during the few weeks surrounding my first full batch all-grain brew day. I was trying to come up with a name for the beer I was brewing and realized I needed to add my own homebrew/brewery identity to it as well. I struggled with this, tossing around several ideas with my wife. She said to call it “Brando’s Brew”. I thought maybe “BC Brew”, but then a light bulb went off and “Tap This” came out.

As for the meaning, well…let’s just say it’s versatile.

My Equipment

Outlined below is the equipment I currently have for brewing 5 gal + all-grain batches. You can scale back some items, as I tend to go big, or go with brew-in-a-Bag or even extract brewing.
