If you are a complete beginner to home beer making you probably think there is only one way to brew your own beer at home so it may surprise you to know that there are actually three main ways to make homemade beer and your skill level and what you want to achieve will determine which home beer brewing method you choose. Whichever method you choose you will find you can save a lot of time, money and effort by getting some professional tips and training but for now lets just look at what these main brewing methods are. 1. Kit Beers. This is where most homebrewers start and it is surprisingly easy. You simply buy your home brew beer kit which usually includes pretty much everything you need, follow the instructions and voila! 4-6 weeks later you can start drinking your own home brew beer. The Problem with these kits is that you are very limited as to the type of beer you can brew and more importantly the instruction that are included never actually give a beginner accurate instructions to make excellent beer and so it is only after many trial and error attempts that you are likely to end up with a good beer (there are much better ways to making home brew beer than simply adding yeast and water to these kits). Unfortunately most homebrewers give up long before they have started achieving the results they desire. 2. Extract Brewing This is a simple step up from the home brew beer kits but importantly gives you control over the hops you include in your brew as well as giving you the ability to add specialty grains to the mix. This gives you much more control over the flavour of your home brew beer and will produce a beer you will be proud to share with your friends. 3.All Grain Brewing This is the final step in home beer brewing and requires more equipment and a lot more knowledge as it gives you total control over every element of your homebrew beer. This is a lot more involved and for most people it is an unnecessary step that should only be undertaken by those committed to the intricacies of making home beer brewing a dedicated hobby. So that's the three main ways to get involved in home beer making it really is a lot easier and more
rewarding than most people imagine but like most things it is important to get yourself armed with the right information before you start making your first home brew beer.
