Home brewing Tips and Tricks

I thought this would be easier to read as a list of tips, if you wanna comment on this list please do. I will be going into details on some of these handy hints but for now, here are some to be aware of just to get you going.

TOP TIP
Make sure you get good quality hops, if something doesn't smell great its probably not gonna taste too great either.

HANDY TIP
Make sure you mash your grain, this will give your brew a more even taste. If your using fruit try to get an even consistency with your pulp.

DON'T FORGET
to add your yeast, it will shorten the time you have to brew for and will promote a better flavour.

IT'S EASIER
if you let the ingredients do their work, checking it every 5 minutes is not gonna help, brewing takes time and patience

MAKE SURE
You sterilse your equipment, as you only want to brew your new project and not anything left at the bottom from last time.
I always make sure I give all the equipment a good clean before I use them

LAST BUT NOT LEAST
If your making beer , make sure you drink it cold!
Warm beer is for when you find that last bottle at the back of the cupboard, not for something fine crafted by your own hands.

ONE MORE TIP
Make sure you have somewhere to store your liquid gold after fermentation, be sure to have enough bottles.
