Methods Of
Microbrewing
The first thing you'll need to do when brewing is to sanitize everything that will come in contact with your unfermented beer. It will take time for the sanitizer to do its job, so don't rush things.
Next, you'll need to rinse everything to
remove any remaining sanitizer. Any remaining
sanitizer can kill of your yeast if you don't rinse
things well. Add 3 1/2 gallons of water to your
fermenter then seal it with the fermenter's lid
or a rubber stopper. This should be done as
soon as you can before you begin to cook the
wort.
Cooking
Add 2 gallons of cold water to the pot
and bring it to a boil. Once the water has started to
boil, add your malt syrup or extract kit. Always
watch your pot boil and never leave it. Stir it
well, until the extract has dissolved.
Boiling over can create a mess and cause you to
loose precious ingredients.
Malt doesn't boil
like water, as it comes to a boil the liquid will
expand and foam over the top. Stir constantly
and keep a close watch to avoid boiling over.
Add a few tablespoons of your boiling
wort to 1 cup of cool water in a santized
container,making sure the temperature isn't too
high. Next, add your yeast packet and cover the
container with a saucer or lid.
Pitching yeast
After the wort has finished boiling,
allow the mixture time to cool to 70 - 80 degrees
then pitch the yeast into your fermenter, which
you already have filled to 2/3 of the desired
final level with cold water.
These are the basic steps for brewing
your own microbrews. You'll also have to siphon,
bottle, then pour your brew. The final steps
aren't that difficult, although they do
require a certain level of precision. If
this is your first time brewing, you should
watch someone experienced first.
With microbrewing, there are many
different methods, including fruit. Fruit is
unlike other types of microbrews, as the method
introduces fruit into the equation and makes
for a very unique - yet interesting taste. If your are

When brewing your own beers, you can
use any method you prefer. Some are harder than
others, although a little bit of time is all
you need to become a pro. Once you have been
brewing for a while, you'll be able
to brew even the most exotic of microbrews -
all it takes is time and dedication.
