JOIN BEERMANIA--Yes, there are more than 60 craft beer breweries operating in San
Diego county, but the number of local home brewers is almost impossible to keep
tabs on. But, there’s still time to run
to your local beer brewing supply shops to get last-minute holiday gifts for
the newbie brewer in your life. Here
are three suggestions from West Coaster
magazine (www.westcoastersd.com).
The Homebrewer (2911 El Cajon Blvd., 619-450-6165) is a new brew needs shop located
in historic North Park (beer mecca). The
shop has all you need to brew beer at home and reminds everyone very little
space required. Beginners welcome. Includes everything you need to brew a one
gallon batch of beer: recipe, ingredients (grains, hops, yeast), one-gallon
Jug, thermometer, air lock, sanitizer, nifty instructions, & tubing. The
Homebrewer also offers brew classes for both beginning and experienced
brewers. 
Best Damn Home Brew Shop is a full service home brew supply shop for beginners
to advanced home brewers. Located Downtown San Diego Between Broadway and C
Street (1036 Seventh Ave., 619-232-6367. Inside Krisp Beverages + Natural
Foods, the shop carries fresh hops, 54 grains, White Lab liquid/powder extract
and an onsite mill for small/large quantity, plus bottling and kegging
materials.
Home beer brewing starter
kits from Home Brew Mart (5401 Linda
Vista Rd.,619-295-2337) range from $132.95 to $429.95. These kits offer virtually everything you
need for your first successful batch of home brew. Home Brew Mart (Ballast
Point) has designed four kits to allow you to choose the equipment you want.
