How much involvement do you want? http://advice-and.info/Food-and-Drink/56361_Preparing_The_Freshest_Cup_Of_The_Brew.html Sat, 28 Jul 2007 09:45:05 GMT If you already brew at home, whether that be beer, ice tea or coffee, for instance, then you obviously already know how the process goes. However typically people make smaller brews, and so if you are planning on making a large home brew, then there are several pointers that you are absolutely going to want to take into consideration. Things To Think About Before You Make A Large Home Brew http://advice-and.info/Food-and-Drink/52691_Making_A_Large_Home_Brew_Tips.html Thu, 14 Jun 2007 12:30:18 GMT If you have a few grapevines growing in your backyard and if you have tasted the fruits of your labor, then maybe the time has come for you to stock your own label. Actually, you do not need your own grapes to make your own wine and you normally make better wine if you do not have your own grapes. The reason for this is that home wine brewing kits are so popular these days that you can go from chardonnay to merlot from a click of your mouse and simply order on-line whichever wine you prefer. http://advice-and.info/Food-and-Drink/52518_To_Brew_Or_Not_To_Brew_Home_Wine_Brewing_Kits.html Thu, 14 Jun 2007 06:58:47 GMT Raising the temperature of mash can be a slow, yet necessary process and using a home brew steam generator can cut the time. However, using steam to heat the mash can also be dangerous as steam can cause sever burns, quickly. While water heated to boiling at 212-degrees Fahrenheit is hot, steam heated to the same temperature will do more damage simply because boiling water begins to cool as soon as it touches your skin. Steam, on the other hand, will need to condense to water before beginning to cool off, giving it more time to inflict more damage and pain. With that in mind, a home brew steam generator can decrease the time it takes to heat the mash by considering the same principal. Essentially, steam can be generated in a pressure cooker and then piped into the container holding the mash. As the steam enters, it maintains its temperature longer than boiling water will and increases the temperature of the mash at a rate of about one degree centigrade, 33.8 degrees Fahrenheit, per minute. http://advice-and.info/Food-and-Drink/52204_Home_Brew_Steam_Generator_Helpful_Yet_Dangerous.html Sat, 09 Jun 2007 21:40:16 GMT Those getting into the hobby of home brewing their own alcoholic beverages may want to consider joining a home brew club, geared toward the type of home brew in which they are the most interested. Whether your beverage of choice is beer, wine or grain alcohol and regardless of where in the country you reside, there is going to be a home brew club to match your interest. Many times people follow directions for so long they tend to ignore the possibility there are other ways of doing things. As people become more experienced in home brewing, they may try different methods or different ingredients and often willingly share these findings with other members of their home brew club. The associations are designed for this type of sharing as well as gathering and sharing their finished products as well as discussing potential legal issues surrounding the home brewing industry. http://advice-and.info/Food-and-Drink/50251_Join_A_Home_Brew_Club_To_Learn_New_Tricks.html Mon, 21 May 2007 02:38:24 GMT
