HOMEBREWING FOR BEGINNERS - How to Make Beer at Home 🏠🍺

Күн бұрын

This is a complete guide for learning how to make beer at home. We walk you through every step as Rachel brews her first beer. This is a recipe for a SMASH beer, Single Malt and Single Hop beer - meaning there's minimum ingredients but still maximum flavor. We're using a special kind of hop for this beer too, Zappa hops, which were recovered from the wild in New Mexico and are named after Frank Zappa. If you're looking for a juicy pale ale recipe that's also a perfect beginner beer, this is the video for you.

As a quick note on water chemistry, check your city's tap water quality report for if they use chlorine or chloramine for disinfection, if they use chloramine instead, letting it stand overnight will not cause the chloramine to evaporate which can cause all kinds of problems down the line!

If you grind the grain less it will be naturally clearer.. in Japan, Saké is graded by how finely ground the rice is for instance. I never grind anything, cause the yeast can get the nutrients by soaking stuff in enzymes, IE through osmosis. Natural spring water is probably the best water to use, but distilled water will give it a clearer, more "bright" look. Any dissolved solids in the water the yeast can't process will stay dissolved and cause it to be more murky. Yeast is active in the refrigerator, just less so and it also behaves differently. Lager, for instance, is beer fermented at a cooler temperature, which leads to a less "fruity" taste.

If you’re using well water, how does that affect your water chemistry?

@fdk7014 3 жыл бұрын

You need to have it tested so you know the mineral content of it. Or just don't bother with water chemistry. If the water tastes good it will probably make good beer. Alternatively, you could get a reverse osmosis system which removes all minerals from the water (some RO systems come with a module to re-mineralize the water, you don't want to use that bit). Then you have a blank slate to add minerals to.

Why bother with pH when you can carry out an iodine test for starch? Drop a couple of drops of iodine into a spoonful of wort, if the solution does not turn blue, everything is fine.

@youknowmyname9915 6 ай бұрын

Well you aren't going to get full conversion if the pH is wrong in the first place. The enzymes need a specific pH in order to convert the starches to sugars.
