So, you want to learn how to make beer? Ok, you take malt and hops and boil it in water, then add the yeast, viola you have beer. Sounds simple right? Well, if you don’t care about the taste, aroma, or color and you only want it to get drunk, then it is simple. There are hundreds, if not thousands of websites that will teach you how to make beer and the majority of them are right. I am not a ” brew master, ” but I have been brewing beer for twenty years and I am hear to share that experience and knowledge I gained over those years. I will teach you basics on how to make beer and hopefully we can have a little fun in the process.

When First Learning How To Make Beer You Should Start With Your Favorite Style

I know that sounds like a stupid statement, but some people would take this opportunity to experiment with different or odd styles of beer. If this is your first batch and you are just starting to learn how to make beer, it’s probably not a good idea to experiment. First of all, if you are anything like me and the batch tastes like s***, you could be swayed to not try again. Second of all, a batch of homemade beer usually makes about five gallons, and could take up to 3 or 4 weeks before you get to taste it. That’s a lot of beer to be drinking if you are not happy with the finished brew, and a lot of time wasted if you have to dump it down the toilet.

When I Just Started Learning How To Make Beer I Was Told To Start With Either A Lager Or Ale

Most people start their beer drinking career with either a lager or a ale and don’t even realize it. So, to start learning how to make beer by brewing a lager or ale, would help you produce a homemade beer that you already enjoy drinking. Plus it doesn’t hurt that the recipes are readily available online and the ingredients can be easily found at any home brew shop. As long as you follow the directions, you should be able to produce a drinkable homemade beer. Most of the beer kits will come with either the ingredients to produce a lager or ale and directions on how to make beer.
