Homebrewing is a process by which a person employs various tools and ingredients to create beer from scratch. Even if you have never brewed your own beer, there are homebrew recipes available for just about any taste preference. The simplest approach is using malt extract to produce a high-alcohol content beer that tastes much like commercial brews. The brewing process can be done in as little as three weeks or stretched out over six months. All-grain brewing can take place in as few as two weeks or up to six months or more, depending on the recipe. The time depends on how long it takes to brew, ferment and condition the beer. Most people who homebrew do it at least once or twice a year. A beer that tastes great can be produced in less than two weeks with extract brewing; however, part of the fun is experimenting with all-grain recipes. Most homebrewers start with extract brewing since it is the simplest process. The only equipment needed for this method is a pot to boil water, malt extract (the base for making beer) and yeast (which converts sugar into alcohol). The ingredients are combined with water and boiled at about for an hour. The mixture is then placed in a bucket or other fermentation vessel, where yeast is added. The mixture is left to ferment for a week or two, depending on the recipe. Experienced brewers use all-grain brewing, which combines boilable malted barley with hops to produce beer. Before the process begins, the brewer needs to make sure he has the appropriate equipment for this method of making beer including a large kettle that can hold several gallons of liquid. A strainer, stirring spoon and racking cane are also necessary. The malted barley is combined with hot water and the hops are added. This mixture is boiled for about an hour, during which time the barley converts sugar into alcohol. The liquid is strained and placed in another bucket or fermentation vessel. A cool place should be selected for this stage of the process, since the beer must ferment for several weeks. Experienced homebrewers can create a beer that will rival any commercial brew, even though they are starting with only water, yeast and malted grains. The most important part of brewing beer is sanitation, which kills unwanted bacteria that can affect the taste of your beer. It is important to make sure the equipment is clean and sterilized before you begin. The water must also be sterile, so it would be wise to use bottled water for the brewing process. There are many ways to make beer; however, it does not take much equipment or money. Homebrewing can be a hobby that becomes an obsession, since there are many techniques that can be learned over time. All you need is about one hour two-to-three times each week for several weeks depending on what you are making. cfa1e77820
