Chapter 3 Homebrew Through The Ages

The origins of the term Homebrew are deep seeded in alchohal as thats what homebrew is by definition. Alchohal made in the end users home, and not ina factory or in an officialy established production facility. The earliest example of homebrew being made in force is the American concept of Bathtub Gin. People requiring more alchohal then they could afford would mix anything they could with alcohal in it (mouthwash, medicin, etc.) in a bathtub. Drinking this concoction would often render the user blind or deaf but the traditions of homebrewing could not be so easily stomped out by poisionus failures. After time recipes were established and the general piblic could make a strong brew without paying the exorbatent fees of the liquor companys.

Yeah, I knew I was spelling "einstein" wrong... If I spelled "write" wrong it was a typo.
