Home brews from the VAULT

As a starter, a basic understanding of brewing is necessary to follow the next post.

WARNING: The consumption of at least twenty-four beers may be necessary to fully understand what is being written.

Beer essentially has four main ingredients. Water, Malt, Hops, and our microscopic bacteria friends... Yeast.

When brewing beer, a simple recipe is all that is needed to actually know what you're doing. The creativity is where it gets exciting. Ingredients to the Nth degree are available for purchase from any of the fine scam artists... I mean websites or local stores that provide them.

Honestly though, there are some great websites out there that can give you a great number of choices to brew some seriously obscene beers.

Most simple brews will follow the exact same steps.

• Boil water
• Listen to angry music
• Add Malts and Hops according to your recipe.
• Cool
• Add fill water to fill your fermentation tank.
• Add yeast.
• Cover and wait until your beer is ready to barrel taste and bottle.

Now to my story...
