HOME BREW BEER BREWING

Home brew beer brewing is the way to serve the best beer in your favourite beer mug or glass each evening as your reward for indulging in this most pleasurable hobby of brewing homemade beer.

Do you drink beer?  Have you ever made your own home brew beer?  You can do it you know! If you are just getting started, a complete packaged kit is the best way to go and you will love Coopers Home Brew. 

Choose a Method

You can choose between two main methods for making home brew beer.  The modern way is to use a can of brewing concentrate, called a home brew beer can kit. The beer  can kit contains malt extracts and hops extracts to which you add sugar, clean drinkable water and yeast in a sealable food quality container called the fermenter.  The traditional way for making home brew beer is to extract malts from roasted grain and extract hops flavours from a variety of hops flowers.    This method is still adhered to by the dedicated home brew beer maker; but life is easier with a home brew can kit.  Why not try both methods and brew beer at home?

Choose a Recipe

If you want a favourite home brew beer recipe, the choice is endless.  You can make home brewed Ale, Pilsener, Lager, Bitter, Stout, Dark Ale, Light Ale and countless variations.  In Belgium there is the traditional wheat beer or witbier that came from areas where wheat was the main grain grown.  The colour of your home brewed beer is largely determined by the extent of roasting of the grain.

Choose Alcohol %

For normal strength home brew beer the alcohol per volume is about 5%.  However, for a stronger beer you can brew home made beer wine that can have an alcohol level of about 10%.  This home brew beer wine can be made using only malts for sugar content to reach the alcohol level.  Such a recipe for beer wine would have a very strong malt flavour that can be varied by replacing some of the brewing malt with cane sugar and blending with a higher level of brewing hops to minimise the sweet taste and to suit your own pallet.

 

Choose a Bottle

Storing beer is done traditionally in glass bottles fitted with a crown seal such as on Corona beer bottles, or resealable bottles such as Grolsch beer bottles and Screw top PET beer bottles.  Some home beer brewers prefer to store their beer in pressure beer barrels or mini beer kegs and dispense pressurised beer through a beer chiller.  Which ever way you prefer, there is nothing nicer than to hold a freshly poured glass of your favourite home brew beer up to the light and see the clear amber liquid with bubbles rising to hold a beer head of fine white froth.

Choose Accessories

Enthusiasm for home made beer brewing can be as extensive as any other hobby but rarely as pleasurable.  You can spread your interest to all sorts of accessories ranging from a professional set up involving a beer chiller, specialised beer labels, beer glasses (e.g. beer glasses from Germany, or special shapes such as pilsener beer glasses), beer bottle openers, beer mugs (e.g. German beer mug steins), plastic beer mugs, pop art beer logos, glasses for special occasions and whatever takes your fancy.  You will need beer bottle openers for your beer bottles and you can collect bottle openers as a hobby.

Choose a Cooking Recipe

You can go to beer festivals, enter home made beer brewing competitions, and indulge your culinary expertise by cooking with a beer recipe.   You will find numerous ways to use your home brew beer in cooking recipes.  One favourite is to use your beer in batter for cooking fish, shrimp or mushroom. Home brew beer definitely makes a superior batter. There are other recipes such as beer can chicken, beer cheese soup, old German style beer soup, BBQ beer brisket, or, if you like it, boiling sausage in beer with onions, or, how about pork spare ribs sauerkraut and beer.

Choose a Malty Hoppy Drop

By far the best thing to do is to drink your malty hoppy drop.  Be careful not to develop a big beer belly! 

You can run your belly on beer but not your car.  When you drink, don't drive. When you do drive why not cut your fuel costs in half?  Here is how to  Save Money On Fuel Costs

Enhance your life with a daily dose of your own homemade beer and the satisfaction that it comes with the satisfaction from home brew beer brewing.
