Learning How to Homebrew is Easier Than Falling Off a Bar Stool
Ready to drown your sorrows about the economy with a nice cold beer? Learn how to homebrew and save yourself that nickel in your pocket!
Considering that the cost of a microbrew draft can be up to $5, being able to brew several gallons of beer at home for a cost of about $10 per batch saves you a lot of cash! (possibly at the expense of increasing your waist-line!) The initial investment in a beer kit that will teach you how to homebrew is about $100, including both the equipment that you’ll need as well as the ingredients for your first batch of beer. Once that initial investment in the equipment has been made, each subsequent batch makes your homebrew more and more economical!
So how do you do it? It’s very easy, and a quick search online or simple reading the instructions that come with your beer kit will get you started brewing right away. But how do you really do it, you’re asking?
It’s easy…here are the basic steps…
1) Boil the wort or malt. Homebrew kits come with a container or packet of syrupy pre-hopped malt. All you have to do is add water and optional hops or additional sugars or fruits (honey, molasses, pie filling, etc) and bring it all to a boil
2) Cool wort and add it to your fermenter (comes in the kit) along with brewing yeast. Wait 1 week for the yeast to work it’s magic, churning out alcohol with every nibble of sugar.
3) Bottle the fermented beer into individual bottles, adding a small amount of priming sugar before putting on the cap. This allows the carbonation to begin.
In less than 2 weeks from start to finish, your first batch of home made beer will be ready to drink!
