Brewing Beer at home
Brewing Beer at home
Brewing beer at home is an adventure which once you venture into there’s no turning back. You will always want to brew your own beer and nothing short of that will do. In fact you will want to keep experimenting and make newer versions and tastes.
However, there’s a lot to learn before one can take the leap, which will prove to be a pleasure once you’ve mastered the technique. You will enjoy taking your guests by surprise when you serve them your special home brewed beer. It will bring a smile of pride when you see them raise their eyebrows in appreciable disbelief while smacking their lips at the first taste.
So here goes! You will learn about the basics of brewing the extract. You will also need to know what equipment will be needed, and the basic process involved in home brewing.
What extract is used and how to brew it? Sugar extracted from malted grains is used to brew the beer. The malt extract may be purchased in either liquid form (LME) or dry form (DME). The extract is used to brew the best beer one can enjoy. The life blood of any beer is the yeast. The yeast consumes the sugar and produces certain by-products such as CO2 and alcohol. Malt sugars help yeast to create very specific chemical changes.
Now for the equipment that is best suited for home brewing! Though the entire equipment could be pieced together as individual selections, the best is to procure a basic home brewing kit as a package deal rather than in isolation.
The basic equipment kit consists of the following items –
* 6.5 gallon “ale pail” Primary Fermenter with drilled and grommeted lid
* 6.5 gallon “ale pail” bottling bucket with bottling spigot
* Easy clean no-rinse cleanser
* Airlock
* Siphon and bottling set-up
* Home beer-making text
* Bottle brush
* Hydrometer
* Twin lever capper
* Bucket clip
* Liquid crystal thermometer
* Equipment instructions
One can also procure separately a 3 to 5 gallon stock pot and cooking thermometer as add-ons to complete the equipment.
