Jeremy Barnett - The Face Behind Craft Your Beer

Hey, I’m Jeremy Barnett — home brewer, beer wanker, and the person behind Craft Your Beer.

I started home brewing over 20 years ago, and it’s been one heck of a journey. Over the years, I’ve laid down more batches than I can count, won brewing competitions, and even had my own beer sold in stores across New Zealand.

I've since moved to Australia, and have been shocked by how expensive beer is here. I wanted to find a way to help fellow craft beer fans.

Why listen to me?

Because I’ve been there. I’ve brewed the good, the bad, and the "please don’t open that bottle indoors" kind of beer. I've made the mistakes so you don't have to — and I genuinely love helping others avoid the common pitfalls and get brewing confidently, quickly, and without all the guesswork.

That’s why I created Craft Your Beer: to make home brewing simple, approachable, and actually fun. No gatekeeping, no jargon overload — just solid advice, real results, and better beer in your glass.

Here you’ll find:

• Step-by-step guides
• Tips and tricks
• Equipment advice (no fluff)
• Real-world brewing insights from someone who’s been through it all

If you want to craft beer with flavour, personality, and consistency — something you’re proud to share — you’re in the right place.

Got questions? Want to share your latest brew? I’d love to hear from you.

Cheers! — Jeremy
