MAKE BEER AT HOME WITH MR BEER HOME BREWING KITS
about home brewing from wikipedia
Brewing relies on the conversion of sugars into ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide by yeast through fermentation. Fermentable sugars are typically obtained by steeping malted grain (malt) in hot water during a process known as mashing. When malt is mashed at temperatures between about 60-70?C, enzymes available in the grain break down large starch molecules into both smaller non-fermentable starch-like molecules known as dextrins and into fermentable sugar molecules. Dextrins typically provide mouthfeel and sometimes sweetness to the final beer. The resulting solution, known as wort is run off from the mash during a process known as ?sparging? and contains the sugars, dextrins, proteins and other molecules, many of which are carried into the final beer. After boiling with hops the wort is cooled to fermentation temperatures and added yeast begin the fermentation process.

Concentrated wort or malt extract is commercially available and can be used alone or in combination with grain homebrewing. Homebrewing kits are also available and they usually provide a hopped malt extract which can be fermented upon dilution with water and in many cases, the addition of some sugar.

The home producer must then decide whether to introduce a yeast culture; or wait either for airborne yeasts, or yeasts from the original fruit or grain to infest the must or wort. The latter is know as lambic brewing.

At the home level, the introduction of a yeast culture is often preferred in order to save time and avoid possible infection by undesirable bacteria. One major exception is cider as apple skins retain significant amounts of naturally occurring yeast: as such in the UK, there has been a longstanding tradition of making farmhouse scrumpy by simply pressing apples and leaving the must to stand.

As with many disciplines within homebrewing, some practitioners are very interested in the choice of zymology. There are strong proponents of lambic brewing as well as enthusiasts who seek out and re-culture yeasts from favorite or local breweries. Choice of yeast is very important in the character of the final beverage. For example, homebrewers seeking to produce authentic lagers may choose lagering yeasts, which require lower temperatures for the most effective fermentation. On the other hand, a good champagne yeast tolerates the broader range of temperatures used in the champagne production process.
