A real basic look at making beer at home. Making beer is really a rather simple process but maybe not quite as simple as the video shows, although I think it was done with a little bit of “tongue in cheek” attitude.
All the parts were there, but of course, there are numerous variations within recipes for making all kinds of beers. You can use different kinds of hops for instance and even add them at different times to adjust the amount of bitterness you want in your beer. You can use many different ingredients to brew all kinds of specialty beers.
The best process is to get some really good beer recipes for the types of beers you enjoy, source the best ingredients, and follow the recipes as close as possible for the best outcomes. It’s not much different than cooking a nice casserole. If you don’t follow some basic guidelines, you’re liable to produce a rather unsatisfactory dish.
If you are a beginner, you might want to just start with a beer kit and make your first batch. Most of them will have all the necessary ingredients and easy to follow directions. Always best to have some decent brewing equipment and make sure you know how to sanitize it properly before starting.
So, what are you waiting for? Go make some beer.
