I decided to brew my own beer at home, and on the occasion I created a step-by-step guide how to do it.
I brew with mashing. Everyone can have their own home brewery, you just need a large pot and a lot of desire.
My 10 steps to brew home beer.
Equipment: Pot, I have a 30 liter pot that lets you brew 20 liters of beer. Two fermentation containers (adapted for food purposes). Ladle for mixing. Filtering tube. Thermometer! Sanitation, I use Disprey. You can buy special starter kits at stores for homebrewers.
Recipe: decide what kind of beer you want, browse the internet and look at other recipes.
Materials: malts, hops, yeast, water. You can also add other things. Some stores for home brewers even have sets of raw materials to brew beer.
Mashing: Pour tap water into the pot (about 14 liters) and heat to the right temperature (up to 75 degrees), add malt, mix and hold at 72 degrees for half an hour, then heat to 78 and again half an hour, then mashout up to 82 per minute. So I did.
Batch Sparge: Pour the mash from the pot into the fermenter, pour the liquid back into the pot using a tube, add hot water, additionally boiled, to obtain 20 liters of wort.
Boiling: heat to 100 degrees and cook for one hour, add hops at the beginning to the bitterness, then at the end for the aroma.
Cooling: cool the boiled wort to about 20 degrees. A cooler is useful.
Yeast: In a glass filled half with water at a temperature of about 20 degrees (wait a minimum of 30 minutes) and pour it after mixing the wort pour it into it.
Fermentation: a week of fermentation with yeast. After a week, pour into a second container. It will be a silent fermentation that lasts another week. Hops can also be added. Keep the temperature below 20 degrees all the time.
Bottling: Pour again to the second container, add diluted sugar, pour into bottles. Wait another 3 weeks and taste.
I am waiting now for the opportunity to drink my own beer.
At every stage, you need to remember about hygiene and cleanliness.
