Useful Information Regarding Beer Making Supplies

By Patrick McDonald


People get involved in the procedure of making beers on both small and commercial scale. In places where beer is quite costly or even unavailable, People prefer making their own beer. There are a lot of people who make their own beers because they live in interior areas. To do this, there are various processes and supplies needed. This is what Beer making supplies are all about.

The process of making beers is what is referred to as brewing. This process entails turning malted barley and other grains into the end product, which is beer. Malted barley is sometimes simply referred to as malt. Other grains that are sometimes combined with malt include wheat, rye, and sorghum. When these grains are combined with purified or tap water, the resultant product is referred to as wort.

The wort ought to be boiled in order to kill any microbes which may be present in tap water that is added to the mixture. Once wort has been boiled, yeast is added to the mixture as a catalyst for the fermentation process. Yeast usually triggers fermentation by consuming the sugar present in the wort. This process usually lasts for around 7 and 14 days.

As the yeast feeds on the sugar provided by the wort, it produces gas and alcohol in the process. Once 7 to 14 days are complete, the mixture of yeast and wort is left for an additional 7 to 14 days but with priming sugar added. This is done to increase the amount of sugar present for the yeast. Yeast in the initial wort gets exhausted within the first 7 to 14 days.

Even though the sugar is depleted at this time, the product is not fully fermented and carbonated at this point. The type of beers one is making will determine the total length of time the process of fermentation is left to continue. IPAS and pale ales beers are usually ready for drinking after between 2 to 4 weeks. However, lagers and other types need more than four weeks to ferment totally.

Yeast, hops, barley and water are the key ingredients necessary for the brewing process. Water is essential in the entire brewing process. However, in case the water has a distinctive color or taste, one is advised to use filtered or distilled water. How the final product tastes may be affected in case the water used has a distinctive taste.

Malted barley normally contains high amounts of protein and is partially germinated. Germinated partially means that it has only swollen and is ready to germinate but it is yet to begin sprouting. The partly germinated barley is then forced to dry by means blasts of hot air. The process of malting alters the chemical constituent of the grain such that the sugar contained in them can be more palatable to fermentation by yeast.

Being more palatable to yeast action facilitates the process of brewing. When the barley is malted, it imparts a certain rich and sweet flavor into the final product. Hops flower buds re used to offset the rich sweetness of malt. The amount of hops added into the malt will depend on the taste that one intends to achieve.
