Making Your Own Beer at Home 

When you are going to brew your own beer at home, you are going to need the following. You will have to have a malt extract, water, and brewers yeast. The malt extracts can be liquid and they are usually in the form of syrup. Dry extracts can be stored longer than the liquid form. You can find that there are many different extracts to choose from. You may find that it is easier to order these things online so that you can get your brewing started faster.

One thing that people do not know is that making beer is using almost all water. It is best to use spring water even though some people get good results with tap water as well. Yeast is another big part of making beer. Yeast is what ferments the malts and the sugars into the alcohol. This is what will release the carbon dioxide.

You will see that there are many different ways to make beer. The only way to do it is to find the recipe that you like best. You will see that there are certain ones that take longer than others and ones that will take no time at all. Figure out which one sounds better to you and then you will have a better idea of the entire process of making great beer.

It is important to be careful and sanitary. You need to make sure that all the equipment that you use is sterile. This is very important because you do not want to take any chances on the beer becoming tainted and someone getting sick from your invention.

Making your own beer is a great way to explore the creativity that you can do. It is something that you will only get better at over time and all of your pals and buddies will enjoy the fact that you can make them good tasting beer. That is something that you can be proud of.

Home Brewing Options in Saving Money 

Home brewing is a method of making beer at home. If you have ever tried a few different types beer while you are at a party or while you are celebrating life, you will notice that some are heavy and some are light. You should also remember that some are dark and others are light and clear, while some are bitter, and some are not. A home brewing kit is going to give you the ability to make and try your own beer so you can find that one special taste you love.

When can you use the home brewing systems?
You can use a home brewing system to make beer for a summer party, for a small get together or you can use the home brewing system just to have fun and keep you own brand of beer on the shelf in your home. Making beer at home will be easy as you follow the directions and the instructions that are included in any home brewing kit. As you experiment, you should also be writing down every thing you do step by step, as you create different types of beer.

As you continue writing down what you do, and any variations in what you do, you will be able to replicate that process for the final beer that you do like the taste of. Remember, every variations, every tiny fraction of difference in measuring, in how long you boil, or even what type of container you are using is going to make a difference in the final taste of the product you are enjoying.

Where are you going to store the beer?
Storing your beer is actually going to be an easy part of making the beer! I know you are thinking that you have to store all the beer that you make in a refrigerator but actually, that is not the case. You can store the beer in the buckets (that are sealed) that you made the beer in. As the beer is sealed tight is going to stop fermenting and the beer will stay good until you open it. When you are ready to open that bucket and pout it into glasses or containers so it gets cold you will need to put some type of lid on the beer while it gets cold to prevent it from getting flat tasting. Flat beer is worse than warm beer to many people are the world.

By brewing your own brand of beer, you are going to be able to save up to fifty percent of the cost of buying beer from a store. If you are having a large party that can be a huge, overall savings if you just think about it! Now it is time to get busy and start making your first batch.

Making your own beer really is fun. You can make beer, while your friends are over for the day, or you can make a batch of beer a few nights before that big party, you are going to attend. One thing is for sure, when you make your own beer, you will know exactly how much you have, and that you are not going to run out. If you store beer in the basement, where it is going to ferment and cool at the same time, you are always going to be prepared for visitors.

Click here to see my Squidoo Lenses for Sale


Hello world!  I mean, hi there my name is Loretta and I'm new at this Squidoo lens creation so go easy on me.  I've been working from home for the past 7 years now and I love every minute of it.  I honestly don't think I could go back to being an in office, stressed out, underpaid person.  Working casually as an independent contractor from the comfort of my own office, starbucks, or wherever I'd like to work from.

My husband and I have four boys ranging in age from 6 to 10.  You'll probably find the occassional picture of them in my lenses depending on what I'm writing about.  Life is light hearted and fun around our house, if you're ever in the neighborhood stop by and we'll rent some movies and have a few drinks!

I'm also a frequent blogger!  I have a few blogs, and will probably add a few more over the next year.  Blogging is addictive.  

My sites & blogs;

Stitching the Night Away ~ this was my very first website ever!  It may not be a money maker or anything spectacular but I love it all the same.

Craft Blog ~ full of project ideas, pictures, and cross stitch chatter, this is a subdomain of Stitching the Night Away. 

Just Not Martha ~ Perfect is boring.  Being a housewife is not a category I like to fall into.  Women get this sterotype thing even in today's modern world.  I hope that all changes someday.  In the meantime I'll share my views, and my imperfections with you.  If nothing else it might give you a laugh.   

Gadget Girl Accessories ~ this is one of my newest blogs and still going through some growing pains.  It's all about gadgets, blogs, internet  and technology with a few girly things thrown in there. 

Thoughts Out of My Head ~ This was my first blog!  Full of rambling thoughts and daily happenings in our life.
