| Home-Brew recipes may sound confusing at first because the terminology may be new to you. When I first started, I did like many people do, I used an all extract kit, just added water, hops and yeast. The ultimate goal is to do "partial mash" or"All Grain" batches, it just tastes better! Yes, it involves a lot more equipment, mash tun, wort chiller, etc. |
| Important Terms to Remember Bittering / Boiling / Flavoring Hops-> Generally kept in for most if not all of the boil to extract all of the bitter oils from the hops. Finishing / Aroma Hops-> These are added for a short period of time at the end of the boil as to not lose the fragrance of the hop. Dry Hopping-> Adding hops to the fermentation bucket in order to gain hop aroma without losing any to the boil. Head Retention-> This is how well your beer holds that foamy head of carbonation bubbles when poured into a glass. This is an important characteristic for many brewers. These terms may not make much since right now, but it will later. These were things that somehow are left out of the "entry level" training books, etc and leaves a "gap" in your knowledge between beginner and intermediate. In a short time, it will all seem simple, if you can cook a pot of soup, you can do this! Just in case it isn't written somewhere else, REMEMBER, the MOST important thing is sanitation! Keep it clean and sterile, when in doubt, sterilize it again! Above all, just have fun! Once you have gone over the "how to's" it is time to begin! I recommend getting a starter kit, comes with everything but a pot and probably bottles. The "screw off" type bottles will not work, as the beer conditions, the cap WILL either leak, or BLOW OFF! Most recipes are 5 gallon batches, which will require just over 2 cases of bottles, but you will probably spill some, so that may work. Once you get a batch or two behind you, you may want to look into kegging, it is a lot easier than bottling, it just means more equipment. Welcome to the wonderful world of Home-Brewing! |
