This daft horse procrastinates far too much and, due to kindly being given some of the surplus grain and hops from friends who just so-happen to be head brewers in my local city, have ended up brewing a bit more than usual this year.

This is the label / pump clip for my new beer; a completely new creation. By far my most complex brew.

It's a hazy, slightly fruity, wheat beer with a moderate body. Brewed partially with raspberries for a tiny bit of tart sharpness. Some American hops balance the sweetness but also add a bit of grapefruit taste and aroma. - It's quite lovely. :3

...I really need to be doing other stuffs though. ^.^;

Microbrewing really is one of the last great arts. Where do you get this stuff?

It is a wonderful skill but I'm only just getting started out. The yeast tend to be quite kind and forgiving to me but I'm certainly not skilled enough to have much control over the process. ^.^ I only did a small 20 litre batch of the stuff so it isn't really going to get too far from home but I can share the recipe if you want to try to reproduce it. ^.^

Thanks, but in my little apartment I would not have any room for it. I can only enjoy the process when visiting the local breweries.

I have a tiny place myself so don’t let that put you off; you really don’t need much space or equipment to brew. I did my first batch using an everyday electric kettle to boil water and a bucket with a lid. This recipe is a little more involved than what I used to do because I used all-grain but if you use malt extract then it’s super simple but still rewarding and a perfect way to start. ^.^

A kettle and a bucket? I could swing that, and after my last trip to the liquor store--along with the absurd bill--home-brewing is sounding awfully tempting. What is that recipe, if you don't mind?

This video gives you a pretty good idea of how simple the process is of brewing from malt extracts is: https://youtu.be/3MRE25sJyQ4 (he does more things than what’s needed so it’s even easier than this)

It might be best to get a beer kit with the “equipment” because it makes getting started easier and ensures the bucket (fermenter) you use is air tight and food safe. Here, across the pond, you can get everything you need in a kit including the ingredients to make 40pints for around £30. Then for the next brews it’s simply a matter of buying ingredients at around £10 a time. If you need to save money on beer then I can’t recommend this enough! I’m sure there are plenty of places you can buy this stuff where you are too.

I brew from grain which is 500% more work but gives more options in the brewing process and in my case, because I have loads of free grain and hops, is pretty much free. If I didn’t have grain laying about the place then I’d honestly just brew from extract. The recipe for this particular beer is:

Maris Otter, Pilsner, Pale wheat malt + Torrified wheat
Mash temperature of 70°C
Celeia - bittering hops
Cascade - flavour / Aroma hops
Raspberries
Weissbier yeast

Recipes can get super complex but don’t be put off as making beer from malt extract is a very easy way of legitimately brewing some pretty great beer; starting from a kit you really can’t go wrong. :3

Forty pints for thirty quid? I am so in. Thanks.
