Publisher's Synopsis
INTRODUCTION
So you've decided to make your beer at home. Congratulations! You're about to engage in a wondrous and rewarding task almost as old as humanity itself. But there's no reason to be intimidated. Although people have been brewing beer for millennia, the basic process has remained much the same through the ages. This e-book will discuss some of the simplest beers to try out at home.
For your first few beers, it's wise to start with a kit: the cans or cartons of thick, sticky syrup that you mix with water and ferment in a bucket. Feel free to jump straight in and purchase the extra stuff you need to make a batch from scratch, but there are a few reasons to keep things as simple as possible for the first few batches.
This is everything you need to know to make the perfect beer:
Hopped malt extract
Dried yeast
Sugar and dried malt extract
Water
Hops
