Home brewing in 2025 is booming.
$500 starter kits, $5k+ all-grain systems, keg vs bottle debates, and every brand claiming “most consistent” or “best flavor.”

The Tool Collective are a multi talented group of passionate hobbyists on a mission to create highly useful and intelligent decision making tools to help others who share our passion and interests. Home brewing is a new hobby for a few of us, in addition to our already passionate cooking/gardening crowd. Being able to craft your own style of beer or wine is truly a self fulfilling hobby and one you can certainly impress your friends and family with. Not to mention the home brew community is large and growing exponentially, so we decided to make a big batch of decision tools for this community to help level-up their setups and master their craft. Enjoy, and happy brewing!
