1. Prepare
the brewing equipment first. You need to fit spigot at the bottom of the drum
meant for fermentation. Grommet needs to be fitted on the lid. Sanitize all the
part of the equipment with bleaching powder.
2. Take a portion of the wort concentrate, about
1 can or so, and put into a pot. Add boiling water to the concentrate.
3. Add two
liters of water in a large pot. Bring to a boil. Add the prepared mixture to
the fermenting drum. Pour the warm wort concentrate into the fermenting drum.
Add malt and sugar; stir well.
4. Add water to the drum until you reach a volume
of twenty liters liquid that is required for brewing.
5. Stick the
kitchen thermometer on one side of the fermenting drum with an adhesive. The
ideal temperature of the drum should be between 22 and 28 ° C before
the yeast is added.
6. Now we
shall begin the process of fermentation. Sprinkle yeast on the wort.
7. Screw the
fermenter tightly with a lid and use an airlock filled with water partially.
The purpose of the airlock avoids carbon dioxide from escaping and stops the
entry of bacteria as well as wild yeast. The fermenter is placed aside for a
period of 5 to 7 days to ferment.
8. Sterilize the bottles, caps as well as filler
tube with sterilizing powder, or by heating them in a microwave, or by boiling
them with water on the stove.
9. Place the
filler tube tightly on the spigot. Fill the beer in the tube but do not allow
the beer to flow out from the bottom valve. Put the beer in a cup. Discard the
remaining portion and material.
10. Now you
have to fill the sterilized bottles with the prepared beer. Prior to filling
the bottles, just add a little sugar about one teaspoon in each bottle. The
additional sugar will increase the amount of fizz in the beer. It is an
essential component of the fermentation process.
11. You must
remember not to fill the bottles up to the brim. You must leave a gap of about
half an inch in each bottle. Close the valve by lowering the bottle.
12. Once you
have filled the bottles, seal them tightly with sterilized bottle caps without
wasting any time. You can also use a hammer and a hand capper to seal the
bottles tightly. Store the bottles at a moderate
temperature for eight weeks.
The bottles must not be exposed to direct sunlight and should be placed
upright.
After a
period of eight weeks, the beer will be totally fermented and all gases will
appear. This kind of beer does not come with an expiry date, and the longer it
is stored, it will taste better.
Now that you
have come to know an effective way of how to make homemade brew, I am sure you will at least
try one of these recipes at your home.
