The various steps of brewing beer include:
Step 1: Collect ¼ gallon of water for one pound of grain.
Step 2: Heat water at a temperature of 160F or 71C.
Step 3: Now, we shall begin the mashing-in process. Pour grain into the water. The temperature will reduce to 152F or 68C. The process is similar to the preparation of oatmeal.
Step 4: Keep stirring the mixture for a period of 1 hour with regular intervals after every fifteen minutes.
Step 5: Maintain the mashed mixture at a temperature range of 144F to 152F (63C to 68C).
Step 6: Once the temperature falls between the desired temperature range, we shall begin the mashing-out process.
Step 7: Increase the heat to a temperature of 170 F (77C) while stirring the mixture continuously.
Step 8: Take a fine mesh strainer and place it over a pot or a bowl.
Step 9: Pour the mashed mixture over the strainer to drain the excess water.
Step 10: Once the process of mashing-out is over, we shall begin the process of sparge.
Step 11: On a medium-high heat, heat one gallon of water to reach a temperature of 170C.
Step 12: Pour the hot water over the grain. We will get ‘wort’ i.e. the resultant liquid of the process of mashing. Wort comprises of sugars that are fermented by the yeast in order to prepare alcohol.
Step 13: You should repeat the mashing process two or three times.
Step 14: We have to boil the wort mixture now. This is the final stage of brewing beer. Bring the wort mixture to a boil.
Step 15. At the beginning of the boiling process, add the bittering hops. Add aroma hops once the process approaches the end.
Step 16: Boil the wort mixture gently at low-medium heat.
Step 17: Sanitize a big jug or a pitcher.
Step 18. Keep the wort mixture aside to cool down.
Step 19: Prepare an ice pack bath in the kitchen sink.
Step 20: Place the vessel with the wort mixture in the middle of the ice pack bath and cool it to a temperaturearound 70F (21C)
Step 21: Once the wort mixture is cool enough, pour it into the sanitized jug.
Step 22: Fill the pitcher with the mixture measuring up to 1 gallon. You can add tap water if the level of liquid is low.
Step 23: The final stage of brewing beer involves the addition of yeast. Add yeast into the fermenter. The process of adding yeast is termed as ‘pitching’.
Step 24: Sanitize your hands and shake the pitcher. Sanitize the screw cap stopper to make it free from any kind of microorganisms.
Step 25: Screw the cap stopper onto the fermenter.
Step 26: Insert a sanitized blow-off tube, the other end placed in the bowl.
Step 27: Store the pitcher in a dark area for three days.
Step 28, After 3 days, replace the tube with an airlock.
Step 29. The beer will be ready for bottling after a period of two weeks.
