1. Preparing the Ingredients ' Crush the malted barley into suitable sizes using your rolling pin. This will break the grain into pieces and will extract the goodness of the grain when it's inserted into hot water.
2. Boil the Wort ' The ingredients for the wort are mixed with the amount stated on the beer recipe. This is called the 'mash'. The mash is mixed together in the boiler and hot water is added. The mash is brought to a boil for approximately half an hour. Once it's finished boiling, you must filter out the grains and add the hops. Boiling the hops will eliminate its bitter flavor. Boil the hops for approximately 10 minutes.
3. Fermentation ' This is the most important step to beer brewing. Insert the yeast into the wort and leave it for approximately one week. If you use the correct amount of yeast, you will notice foam throughout the liquid within the first 24 hours. This foam indicates that the beer is fermenting accordingly.
4. Storage ' Store your beer in tanks or package it in bottles or kegs until it is ready for consumption. Bill Kaplan spends most of his free time researching and practicing the art of beer brewing and wine making and serves as a contributing editor for the http://www.winemakingandbeerbrewing.com/
