BeerCraftr is for anyone who loves beer and wants to learn how to make amazing craft beer in the comfort of their kitchen.

I’m Joseph Lavoie, creator of BeerCraftr.

BeerCraftr is a place for anyone who has thought of brewing beer but didn’t know where to start.

A long time ago I put off my interest in making beer because it sounded intimidating. It would require a huge investment in equipment; I’d need a lot of space, and there was probably no chance in hell I’d ever make a good beer. I was wrong, on all fronts!

If you have a kitchen, a stock pot, and some basic equipment, you can get brewing this weekend. I wish I knew how easy it was, and that I could make good beer without sacrificing on ingredients or flavour.

My mission is to help you discover how easy it is to make amazing beer.
