Making beer is easy, inexpensive, and most of all, fun. With the
rise in popularity of homebrewing, there are a wide variety of
top quality ingredients available. You can literally make
thousands of styles of beer that will taste great and impress
your friends. Getting started making beer will only cost you a
small amount of money, depending on your level of interest. Most
beer making kits range from only $60 to $200 and make great,
unique gifts.
How to Make Beer
Making Beer is just like cooking. Each recipe requires different
ingredients and techniques. This page is an attempt to go over
the basics of homebrewing in order to give you an understanding
of how beer is made.
First of all, beer is made from 4 basic ingredients: water, malt
(malted barley), hops, and yeast.
Water is the most abundant ingredient in any style of beer. When
making beer at home try to use filtered water instead of plain
tap water. If your water doesnt taste good from the tap, you
probably wont like it in your beer either. Do not use distilled

Malted barley is barley grain that has been carefully soaked in
water until it sprouts and then dried. This malting process
develops the necessary sugars and soluble starches needed for
fermentation. The malt is then taken through a process called
mashing which extracts the sugars and starches from the grain.
Although advanced homebrewers can accomplish this step at home,
most will buy the malted barley already mashed in a product
called malt extract.
Hops are a green flower that grows on a vine and looks similar
to a pine cone. Hops perform several roles in the beer making
process. Most notably are the taste and aroma they impart on a
beer. Since not all of the sugars will ferment, the malt will
cause the beer to be really sweet. Hops will balance out the
sweetness by adding a degree of bitterness. Hops will also add a
distinctive aroma to the finished brew.
Yeast is the catalyst that makes it all happen. In short, yeast
is a living organism that feeds off of the sugars in the malt.
The yeast will convert the sugars to alcohol and carbon dioxide
in a process called fermentation. There are many strains of
yeasts (even in the air we breathe). In order to get the results

of time. This mixture is called wort (pronounced wert). Then the
wort is poured into fermenter and allowed to cool. Next, the
prepared yeast is pitched into the fermenter and an airlock is
placed over the opening. Now its the yeasts job to do its
thing. The yeast will multiply like crazy as it consumes the
sugars in the brew. After a period of time, usually within 7 to
10 days, the yeast will have consumed all that it can and fall
to the bottom of the fermenter. Finally, the beer is bottled and
set aside for a couple of weeks to mature and carbonate. Making
beer at home really is a fantastic hobby and can be a great
social activity. Have some friends over and let them try your
new brew. Better yet, get them involved and see who can make the
best batches. Have blind taste tests with your buddies. Most of
all, have fun!
