The basic ingredients used in the brewing of beer are quite simple. They are – Water – Even if you are trying to save water by drinking more beer, you do need it for brewing the bubbly. Starch – Use malt, dextrose, corn syrup, or a combination of all these for a better brew. Hops – No jumping around please. The flowers of the hops plant are used to flavour the beer. The unique taste of your beer is due to these flowers. Yeast – Rise and bubble! Yeast is of course necessary for the fermentation, which is the backbone of beer brewing.
Finings – The final touch, so to say. Finings or clarifying agents are used to precipitate the substances that cloud the drink. This makes the beer appear bright and clean. Apart from these ingredients, you will also need the equipment for the brewing. This consists of fermenter & fittings, hydrometer, and bottling equipment with a capper. You don’t need to go searching around for these products. You will receive all of these in any home beer brewing kit you buy.
