I tried once in college with a home brewing kit. It was "English Pale Ale"

Not much of a Pale Ale guy, but I assume I did it right; I mean it got me drunk.

The kits are pretty cool. Each brew makes about two cases each that you bottle and can even put your own logo on. I know some people that are really into it and can make the light beers, but you need refrigeration units and it has to kept a certain temperature throughout fermentation. Definitely something I am interested in.
