How exciting do you think it would be to make beer at home and then have guests over for a beer tasting party? What? Got cold feet because you don't think you can make beer at home and be any good at it? It's truly easy if you read the instructions. Trust us on that one.
If you aren't into having all the equipment in your basement, then you might want to think twice about making beer at home. However, it is honestly not that difficult and even a novice with no experience can manage to make some really nice beer, provided they read the manual and do what they're told.
Making beer at home isn't for everyone. So if you're going to try it out, then don't invest a lot of money in a high-end kit with all the bells and whistles. Get something that's reasonably priced, easy to set up, has great and very clear instructions to follow and then give it a try. You'll likely be pleasantly surprised by the results.
One of the best things about making beer at home is that it is really a cheap, easy and fun thing to do, provided you follow the directions ok? Don't be getting into this with the thought that you can "wing it" if things go wrong. Winging it is the wrong thing to do and will result in some of the worst tasting beer you've ever had the misfortune to run across. And since this is a pretty easy process, if you mess up that bad, let your wife take over.
Most of the kits on the market for making beer at home are pretty decent and go well together with the variety of ingredients you will need to get rolling. Make sure that the ingredients you do buy are top quality. Cheap ingredients will affect the taste of your beer. The scoop is that a good beer making kit can range in price from $60 to $200 and can keep you in beer until the cows come home once you have mastered the art.
If you can cook, and yeah, that includes even a can of soup, you are able to make beer at home. If soup is beyond you, ask a neighbor to make the beer. No, really, you only need four ingredients (water, malted barley, hops and yeast) to put this all together and that is it. How hard could that really be? If you have to think about it, maybe getting fish would be a better idea.
Once you have finished boiling all your ingredients according to the recipe you are following, take the mixture, called wort, and pour it into the fermenter. Once it's safe in the fermenter, leave it there until it cools down prior to adding your fermenting ingredient, yeast.
Once the mix is cool, toss in prepared yeast and put an airlock over the opening and allow the yeast to go to work. It takes about 7 to 10 days for the yeast to eat the sugar in the mixture and drop to the bottom of the fermenter. At this point you bottle the beer and leave it to mature for about two weeks. Voila! Easy right? Well why not try it and find out?
