Like most worthwhile occupations, it involves the investment of your time and resources. What makes it worthwhile? If I may, I'd like to start with a little philosophy. I feel that it is good for the spirit to master what I call a primitive skill. By "mastering a primitive skill," I mean to become proficient in an art, a craft, or other endeavor that was done in pre-technological times, and was essential for the survival or enrichment of humanity. There are many such primitive skills. Baking bread from natural ingredients. Sailing. Organic gardening. Weaving. Needlework. Log cabin building. Wilderness camping. Mountain climbing. Skiing. Bow hunting. Orienteering. Knitting. Candle making. The list goes on and on. These ancient disciplines can provide a sense of balance for out otherwise busy, technology-filled dats. As a science fiction fan, I might put it like this: When the pioneers land on planet Q the leaders of the mission will call on the others, one at a time, to state what special skill or gift they can bring to the tribe. I could look them in the eye and say: "I am a brewer," and be confident of a respected place in the society. As a brewer you enter a guild that goes back beyond the ancient Egyptians into pre-history. You enter the domain of shamans and priests, a realm that is awe-inspiring and mystical, that is touched by magic and powered by life itself; brewing is a part of what it means to be civilized humans. Welcome to the guild. - 2 - An Overview of the Process This book is not intended to be the ultimate or only resource you will ever want for home brewing. By following the steps outlined in this section and detailed in the following sections, you should be able to produce your first two cases of beer. The equipment you purchase in the process may be all the gear you will ever need. This section is intended to give a general understanding of what is in- volved in brewing beer at home. Please read it thoroughly before moving on to the recipe and procedures. Many books and magazine articles have been written with beer recipes and alternative techniques for brewing. I hope that you ex- periment with many of these. You may eventually settle down to one or two favorite recipes, as I have. But there are endless opportu- nities for experimentation, which can be very rewarding and tasty. airlock lid drilled rubber stopper 5-gallon glass carboy 5-gallon channel- ware canner (used bottle capper as a boiling kettle) 12-pounce glass bottles hydrometer stainless bottle filter steel spoon racking hose sample jar racking tube Basic Homebrewing Equipment - 3 - The first thing to do is to obtain the necessary supplies and equipment. Some pieces of equipment are standard cooking uten- sils; some are specialized brewing gear. Look for brewing equip- ment and ingredients at specialty homebrewing suppliers. Thanks to an increasing interest in homebrewing, such suppliers exist in all parts of the country. My main supplier is primarily a shop for people who make their own wine. They have added brewers' sup- plies and are an excellent source. You can also try restaurant supply houses, hardware stores, natural food shops, mail order, or any of the reference books listed in the back of this bulletin. Once you have everything you need, look at the calendar. Homebrewing usually takes three sessions, separated by several days or weeks. The first session is spent cooking and starting the first fermentation. This can take several hours start-to-finish. Your equipment for this stage will include a large cooking pot, a large stainless steel spoon, and the primary fermenter. Your principal supplies will be water, malt concentrate, hops, yeast, and water- conditioning minerals. You will cook the hops, malt concentrate, and 1 gallon of water in the pot. This mixture will be gently

  • Welcome to the Wonderful World of Wort
    05_230626 ch01.qxp 2/22/08 12:14 AM Page 11 Chapter 1 Welcome to the Wonderful World of Wort In This Chapter ᮣ Why brew at home? ᮣ Do I have what it takes? ne vexing question for the homebrewer wannabe is “why go through the Otrouble of brewing beer at home when I can just buy it at the local store?” Well, for starters, brewing beer at home is no trouble if you enjoy what you’re doing, and with the help of this book, you can certainly enjoy homebrewing. Secondly, homebrewed beer can be every bit as good as — if not better than — a lot of commercial beer, with more flavor and character than most. In fact, avoiding mass-market beer was the original inspiration for homebrewing. Thirdly, homebrewing is a hobby that pays many dividends, from having your own house brand of beer to hanging colorful award ribbons on your wall to earning the undying admiration of your beer-drinking buddies. (Warning: Admiration can be addictive.) In this chapter, I give you an overview of the topics covered in detail in the rest of the book as well as a bit of the history of homebrewing and its recent surge in popularity. COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL Homebrewers Abound! Becoming a homebrewer means you’re in good company. According to the American Homebrewers Association (AHA) in Boulder, Colorado, an estimated 1 million homebrewers are brewing in the United States. That’s a lot of brewers. And the hobby continues to expand every year. Recent estimates indicate that over 1,000 homebrew supply retailers and several hundred homebrewing clubs have popped up in response to homebrewing’s growing popularity.

It is because so many of you show up and go absolutely apeshit over these incredible young bands. Bands that play LOUDFEST can‘t wait to come back over here because they have heard for many years how useless it is to book shows in College Station. They had no idea about downtown Bryan. Rola at Revolution Café & Bar and Eric at The Stafford have filled a rather large void. Down- town Bryan picks up that slack. So many of the older people who came out to their first LOUDFEST last month 979Represent is a local magazine had no idea that any live local music goes on around here, let alone ANYTHING at all in downtown Bryan. for the discerning dirtbag. They assumed it was Northgate or nothing. So many bands have heard the horror stories from other bands about getting dicked over on money, parking and promotion by the few Northgate clubs that still book bands that they see Aggieland as a market to avoid. LOUDFEST is helping to change that attitude. Editorial bored LOUDFEST is booked every year out of a sense of brotherhood. We book bands we like and want to see.

    Brewing Glossary and Terms Brewing Glossary Updated: May 6th 2020 Asian Beer Network Authored by: Neil Playfoot AsianBeerNetwork.com 1 Brewing Glossary and Terms Introduction Brewing Glossary I decided to put together a brewing glossary to help people with brewing terminology. As brewing evolves so does the terminology with new processes and practices developed. This brewing glossary will attempt to keep up to date with latest trends and brewing vocabulary. If you would like something added then please feel free to contact me. I have also added some terms mostly used in homebrewing as well to make the glossary as inclusive as possible. “Thanks for downloading this glossary; we hope it will be a valuable resource for you” This glossary used several sources which I will list at the end of this document. I have tried to list terms used universally in the brewing industry but appreciate that some terms maybe colloquial (for which I apologize). To contact me please email me at: [email protected] Have a good day and happy brewing! Cheers Neil AsianBeerNetwork.com 2 Brewing Glossary and Terms # 18TH AMENDEMENT: The 18th amendment of the United States Constitution effectively established the prohibition of alcoholic beverages in the United States by declaring illegal the production, transport and sale of alcohol (though not the consumption or private possession). 21ST AMENDEMENT: The 21st amendment to the United States Constitution repealed the 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which had mandated nationwide Prohibition on alcohol on January 17, 1920.

  • Basic Guide to Bottle Identification Say You're Planting a New Tree in Your
    Basic Guide to Bottle Age Identification Say you’re planting a new tree in your backyard, and you dig a hole deeper than you’ve had to dig before. In the hole you find a glass bottle that you didn’t put there. How can you identify the bottle? How can you tell if it is old or just a piece of modern recycling that the previous owner left behind? Below please find a basic guide to help you identify a bottle’s age. Bottle identification is a rabbit hole that I’ve found fun to fall into; one bottle can take hours to research, and sometimes, you can’t find anything on it at all! In addition, manufacturing technological advances were adopted over time, not all at once, so older techniques were used at the same time as newer ones. This makes determining exact age for a bottle that wasn’t machine-made a little tricky. But, by looking at a few basic characteristics, you can learn if you want to toss your find in the recycling bin or place it at the center of your mantle. If you are interested in discovering more, I’ve listed some helpful web sites at the end. If you just want a basic guide, hope this helps! How was the bottle made? The first thing that I do when I handle a bottle is look at the construction – the sides, the top or lip, and the base. Free-Blown - Bottles were blown by hand in antiquity, and free-blown bottles were the main manufacturing technique used before the mid-1800s for utilitarian bottles.

FRAGA* Following the enactment of Prohibition, it took the United States almost four decades to legalize homebrewing. Subsequently, the nation experienced a booming interest in beer. And not just beer, but good beer. Drinkers found them- selves invested in both quality and variety. This interest has matured into the craft beer industry. Even in holdover states, where state laws prohibited homebrewing far past 1979, the craft beer industry has experienced near exponential growth following the legalization of homebrewing. This has resulted in significant economic implications. Given these consider- ations, nations with restrictive homebrewing laws, like Ja- pan, should consider easing them.
