Periodically I make beer at my home ashore...that was what I was wondering.
I always make sure that I place the fermenter where i can syphon it without
disturbing the sedment. Can't imagine how that would work on a constantly
moving boat. Maybe filtering would work.

Have any of you any experience brewing your own afloat?

My experiment indicated to me that you can't do it unless docked.
There are beer brewing kits available - do an online search. I can't
see it worth the bother to secure one of these things for sailing.

Also the beer it make wasn't any good. Others say they have better
luck, but I sure didn't. I gave up drinking (well not due to that).

Surely beer has to stand during the fermentation/settling process. How can
you achieve that unless it's a houseboat you live on?
