A big part of homebrewing beer involves sharing information. If you are like us, you probably started with a beer kit and hoped for the best. Maybe you were lucky and had a friend who was already brewing show you the ropes. Either way, there usually comes a point in every brewer's journey when they want to learn more.
Fortunately, brewing Information is everywhere. Books, magazines, forums, websites, and community events are just a few of the resources you can use to take brewing to the next level.
We recently discovered an excellent website that serves as a portal to all kinds of homebrewing related information. It's called Brew Streams and the idea in a nutshell is to pull in feeds from all around the web and display them in a clean, streamlined manner. The streams are updated automatically and offer a great mix of written, audio, and video content. Some of the categories include forum threads, you tube videos, website articles, podcasts and more. There are also completely separate sections for craft beer and cider, all with their own feeds!
I think my favorite feature has to be the quick loading tooltips that come up as you mouseover over each item. This makes it super easy to scan through content.
The only suggestion I have, and this may be coming in a future update, is the ability to customize exactly which sections are shown. I'm pretty sure this would require logins (or at least cookies) and more management for the developer, but just thought I'd throw it out there.
Check Brew Streams out here and let us know what you think!
