All your Brewing Supply needs in One Package.

The great thing about home brewing is that you  don’t have to be a rocket scientist and the first batch is quite simple. Here’s some steps to get your first brew underway. Once you have found a great resource for your brewing supply, then it is time to get started – see steps below:

1. Get all your ingredients together as to have them on hand, limit distraction by organizing your supplies and equipment all in one place, stay focused and have it all ready.
2. We’ll start with some H2O. Most folks use regular tap water since it has the various minerals and elements within to give your home brew it;s unique flavor. Other prefer purified water for greater consistency in taste and flavor. A watched pot never boils, so begin cooking 1-2 gallons of water in a large pot that holds 2-3 gallons and the begin to prepare your brewing yeast.
3. As your water has begun to boil around 212 degrees fahrenheit you’ll be preparing your first ingredient: brewing yeast. Each packet has specific instruction that should be found within your kit, or shipment package. Generally you will be mixing the yeast into a separate hot water mixture for activation.
4. Preparing the yeast can be dome as your large pot begins to boil. Add this mixture of your brewers yeast to your batch after it has become a thick paste.
5. Once the yeast is thoroughly mixed into your batch, add the malt extract that was included with your brew kit, or is specified for the purpose of home brewing beer. Make sure that the malt and yeast are mixed in well before continuing on.
6. Once the water is boiling again, you will then add the hops which has come in the form of pellets from your supplier. Add them to the water and allow to dissolve and boil for at least 5 minutes.
7. During this time of preparation, get your fermenting equipment all cleaned up and sanitized so that it’s ready to go. As you begin coming to the end of your brewing process, fill the ferment about three quarters full with cold water.
8. You’re probably getting pretty thirsty at this point but the strong beer that you have just created is called “the wart” and is hot and sometimes a little stinky. You wanna pour this into your cold water in the fermenter. You should have 5 gallons total in your ale pail, add more water if necessary.

Fermentation is now beginning, the miracle of home made beer will be yours to share with the world. Follow the fermentation directions that are provided with your brewing  supplies. Typically you”ll have 5 gallons to create forty-eight/sixteen ounce bottled beers at around sixteen cents a piece. That’s a a penny per ounce of home brew that you create.  It’s best to have your kit bottles and bottling operations ready to go, these will come in handy unless you have you own recycled beer bottles.

Now it’s time to let mother nature take over and gift us with a fresh batch of home brew in around 20 days. If the anticipation is killing you – too bad; time honors what time makes. Also the virtue of patience is patience itself, it’s all part of the allure, mystery and discipline of home brewing of which you are now a bonafide member.
