Make Your Own Green Beer for St. Patrick's Day

Attention home brewers and beer fans: Who wants a green brew (or two) on St. Patrick's Day? If you get started now, you can brew your own in time for the big day.

If you've brewed your own before, then you know that it's a labor of love, but the payoff comes from being able to do it yourself, control every step of the process, and make it as green as possible. You also know that the hardest part about the homebrew process is waiting for it to be done so you can drink it; the actual 'making' part takes just a few hours. If you haven't brewed before, welcome to the club! There are a few things you'll need to get started. Homebrew shops will sell you a handy kit that includes everything you need; while nice to have everything you might need, you probably don't need to go that route, if you don't want to -- you probably have half of what you need in your kitchen already. Instructables has a good list of what you need to get started.
