3. Simple Beer Brewing

Learn how to brew your own beer in simple, quick 1-gallon batches. Beer, like other alcoholic beverages, is produced by fermenting a sugary liquid with yeast. Using extracted malted grain sugars obtained from a homebrew store, or cane sugar, brown sugar or molasses from a grocery store, you can make beer in your kitchen quickly and easily.

In this video, you’ll learn:

  • How to procure and properly utilize ingredients for brewing beer.
  • How to brew with hops, herbs and/or other ingredients that can be sourced locally.
  • How to gather and use basic beer-brewing equipment.
  • Tips for using different types of yeast to ferment your beer.
  • The basic process for starting your first batch of beer.
  • How to store, age, bottle, and drink your homebrewed beer.
