Brew Day
Every great beer follows the same basic steps. Here is what happens from grain to glass.
Steep crushed grains in hot water to convert starches to fermentable sugars.
Boil the wort for 60 minutes, adding hops for bitterness and aroma.
Cool, pitch yeast, and let it do its magic for 1-3 weeks.
Bottle or keg your beer, carbonate, and enjoy the fruits of your labor.
Why Brew?
You do not need a degree in chemistry or a garage full of equipment. Your first batch can cost under $50 and takes about 4 hours of active time.
From there, you can brew any style you want β IPAs bursting with hops, silky stouts, crisp lagers, or wild sours. The only limit is your imagination.
Our guides break down every step, from extract brewing for beginners to advanced all-grain techniques and water chemistry.
