Recipe
There are two categories for brewing beer at home - all grain and extract.
All grain brewing can be compared to making tea. You steep grains at a specific temperature for an hour and then boil the liquid while adding hops. Once done, you chill the resulting beer and add yeast.
Extract brewing is more similar to making instant hot chocolate. You shorten the steeping step to just 20 minutes with much less grain and simply add a powdered malt extract before moving on to the boil and yeast stages.
Because maintaining an exact temperature for one hour can be tricky during your first few batches, we advise that beginners who want to go the simplest route try our extract recipes. This being said, we worked hard on making our instructions easy to follow, so even if a new brewer wants to try all grain, it will be manageable. All of our starter kits include a recipe of your choosing. Buy here!
