4 Top Tips For Home Beer Brewing
By Glynn Sole

Here are the four top tips to home beer brewing that are guaranteed to help you in your home beer making so you are sure to brew better than you ever thought possible.

1. Choose the right kind of yeast.

Just as a chef needs to use the right ingredients to produce the best tasting dish, the same is true for brewing to produce the best tasting ale. In home beer making the type of yeast you use is responsible for a large part of the flavour so it is critical to choose the yeast according to the type of beer you wish to produce.

2. In brewing temperature is critical.

Don’t be tempted to brew at a higher temperature to speed up the fermentation process, this is a common mistake often made by those that get a little impatient with their brewing and fermenting. There is only a small temperature window to use when brewing, make sure you don’t stray out of it.

3. Don’t become a sugar brewer.

So many homebrew beer makers think adding more sugar produces a stronger brew. In fact for most beers it is better not to use any sugar at all. Far better to use pure malt. You may be surprised to learn that until recently it was not allowed to brew beer in Germany using sugar.

4. Clean, Clean, Clean.

Yea I know, nobody likes cleaning, that may be why the single biggest mistake made in brewing is not keeping the brewing equipment scrupulously clean. If you don’t already know how, it is worth learning how to professionally clean your home beer making equipment and buying the right products to do it efficiently.

No matter what your experience in home beer making you will be sure to benefit by considering these tips when preparing your next home brew beer.

If you are serious about producing excellent homemade beer it is worth considering one of the many courses or books available for home beer making

You can go to the pub and order a pint of insipid, weak tasting mass produced beer or you can have the satisfaction of a great pint of homemade beer.
The satisfaction you feel as you pop the cap on your lovingly brewed homemade beer, tilt the glass and gently start to pour your chosen brew, as you watch the bubbles rise up the glass and the head gently start to form, your taste buds start coming to life in anticipation of drinking your favourite home brew beer.
Quite simply this sensation just cannot be replicated when ordering a pint of beer in the local pub.
It’s not just your imagination when you think your own homebrew beer tastes better than commercial beer. There is actually a scientific reason for it, consider this;

* Home grown vegetables taste better than supermarket vegetables.

* Well presented food tastes better than stuff slopped on the plate.

* Food eaten in an environment that has great cooking smells tastes better than food eaten in an odour neutral environment.

* Homemade beer tastes better than other beers

In fact none of the above is necessarily true it is simply that your taste buds get primed to enjoy the taste in the same way a romantic evening primes the body to enjoy more sensual, satisfying sex than just a quick wham bam thank you ma’m.
