Beer Brewing at Home 101: The Basics

Posted June 25th, 2010.

The first thing you need to do once you have decided to make beer at home is to make sure you get the right equipment.  The equipment you use for making beer needs to be sterile and clean for every batch so that the yeast and sugar do not lose their integrity.  Next you will need water, yeast, wort and sugar (dextrose is better). If you don’t have time to put all these things together yourself, you can find beer brewing kits online that will do the job for you.  All you have to do with a kit is set it up and follow the directions for making home brewed beer.
