Today let's talk about one or two lessons referring to how to make beer at home. Frequently called homebrew, folk have become quite good at brewing their own beer in the past few decades. The craft beer restructuring in the U.S. Has changed lager for all time for the better.
Just like cooking a tasty meal of food, you will need a good recipe to make your lager. The recipe will help you create a style of lager and will give it a special taste, and by altering the recipe, something new can be made. In general though, all beers will have to contain at least some water, barley malt, hops and yeast. But these days all kinds of insane stuff is being put into beer, including chocolate, herbs and spices.
Barley contains starch and has a sugar content; both of these are used during fermentation. Before the barley is introduced into the blend it may also be processed with heat to switch its colour and taste. The more it is heated, the more sugar will be turned into starch, and the darker it'll become. This is the basic process used to create darker ales.
Hops are bitter so are used to level out the taste of the beer. If we did not have them lager would be much too sweet. But by boiling them for different amounts of time, the taste can be changed. Boiling them for an exceedingly long time can create a terribly bitter tasting beer, whereas boiling them for just one or two minutes will make a more savoury brew.
Yeast fundamentally eats the sugars in the lager and converts it to alcohol. So you see it will take time to create lager, it's not sorcery, it's simply science. So you'll want to follow the basic list of instructions you receive when you're new to home brewing. Or you run a serious chance of destroying your whole batch.
