Brewing is the art of doing nothing. Really, all one must do to brew beer is put a bunch of sugary water in a clean place and let the yeast do the work for you for a week or two. Of course, there's the rub - making tasty sugary water and making sure your gear is really really clean - sterile even. However, if you are capable of keeping sea monkeys, you can brew beer in the comfort of your own home. When you crack open your first home brew, you'll realize it's all worth it.
