Brewing Beer
Have you ever thought I should make my own beer? I never did, but after my first batch I do not know why I did not start sooner. Nothing is better than sipping your favorite beer and thinking for the price of two six packs I have 50 beers. I experienced this when drinking a Cloned Dead Guy.
When brewing and all grain beer you will need to do something with leftover spent grain I have several sugestions. Uses for Spent Grain.
I started with a Brewers Best Beer Kit purchased locally at My Old Kentucky Homebrew but will list what is needed.
Materials:
Chick here for cheap and DIY brewing equipment.
Brew pot holding 4+ gal larger is recommended
Hydrometer
Thermometers
Siphon hose
Airlock
Caps and bottles 32 and 12oz
6.5 gallon Primary Fermenter with lid
Easy Clean No-Rinse Cleanser
Bottle filler
Capper
Siphon Bottle Brush Bottling Bucket
Grain bag
What I will do different on batch two:
When making my second batch I did a few things different, first I added an extra container to hold cleansing solution.
Use a wort chiller (Home built)
Transfer to a secondary fermenter - To help clarify the beer.
As I make more beer I will be posting the progress and letting you know what I have learned to save you time and from making the same mistakes.
