How to brew your own beer?
The technology for making beer at home is very simple (assuming you use a microbrewery).
Inside the brewery itself, you need to pour a certain amount of clean water (tap or boiled water is not suitable). How much liquid you need is indicated in the instructions for a particular model. Hopped beer wort and yeast are also poured there (everything is attached to the installation or bought separately in our online store). The tank is tightly closed and sent to a dark place for several days - so that the beer ferments. During the active phase of fermentation, if you listen closely, you can catch gurgling sounds. They will soon stop.
This means that the next phase has come - the uniform development of yeast. After a certain period specified in the recipe, the mini brewery must be moved to a cool place where the fermentation processes will take place. After a few days, the drink is ready to drink!
Based on our experience and numerous customer reviews, the microbrewery is great in action! The main thing is not to experiment at the initial stage, but to strictly adhere to the recipe.

Until recently, making beer at home was considered an incredibly difficult and unpredictable undertaking, which was undertaken only by people who were brave and somewhat obsessed with the craft. Since then, a lot of water has flowed, and even more beer has flowed. If earlier beer enthusiasts had to deal with the manufacture of equipment and the search for raw materials from brewery suppliers, today all this can be bought in the form of ready-made kits for making beer at home, which are commonly called home breweries. There are a lot of such sets and choosing the first one becomes a real test for a beginner. Let's try to help him!
We understand the basic concepts: extract or malt
First you need to understand that beer can be brewed using two fundamentally different, so to speak, technologies: from malt extract or from malt and hops (a pure grain type of brewing, also known as all-grain). Before you start choosing your first microbrewery, and later you will realize that this is not so much about one piece of equipment, but about a combination of different tools and ingredients, you should decide on the degree of your involvement in the process and the level of skill. But let's go in order.
Beer from malt extract
Hopped extracts can be immediately diluted with water, added to the resulting wort with brewer's yeast and fermented. All beginners, without exception, are advised to brew at least a couple of batches of hopped malt extract beer to delve into the process and decide for themselves whether they like a new hobby or not. Later, you can move on to unhopped extracts, which need to be brewed with hops. And only after this experience you can try your hand at all-grain brewing. However, even experienced brewers stay forever with unhopped extracts and make drinks that easily take prizes in various beer masters competitions.
The main disadvantage of extract brewing is that the beer recipe has already been chosen for you and it is almost impossible to influence the result, especially when it comes to hopped malt extracts.
Beer made from malt and hops
In 1516, the Reinheitsgebot (Beer Purity Law) was passed in Germany, according to which beer must be brewed exclusively from barley malt, hops and water. This law was adopted more for economic reasons (there was a famine and a severe shortage of wheat in the country) and to a lesser extent to create a reference drink in terms of quality. There are fewer and fewer purists (adamant fans of the Reinheitsgebot) left, because the main value of all-grain brewing lies in its flexibility and the opportunity to express yourself. Along with being actively used, less often, etc., unmalted grains, fruits, berries, herbs and even mushrooms are added to the wort. Brewing has become a creative process.
The philosophy of all-grain implies saccharification of malt at home (what is done for extracts in production). This is a very time-consuming process that requires full dedication. The malt is ground, then mixed with water (mashing) at a certain temperature and in a certain proportion, after which well-defined temperature pauses are maintained, due to which the malt enzymes pass into the water and convert the starch into fermentable and non-fermentable sugars. This is followed by a painful for many stage of filtering the liquid fraction from the grains, and only after that the boiling of the wort with hopping follows. All this requires good theoretical training and, of course, good equipment.
