First, think long and hard on the amount of brewing that you are about to do, and mind the specifications required to do the job. Once decided, pick the least expensive brewing kit that has all the specifications that you need. After picking the equipment, list all the ingredients that are to be used in brewing your beer. For the ingredients that would make a 5 galloon of beer, we will need one can of malt extract (pre-hopped), one kilo of fine sugar (preferable the one that is known as dextrose or corn sugar), one sachet of yeast and water (tap water will do but if it doesn't taste good you may opt for filtered water). Fermenter A fermenter is any container made from high quality plastic or glass that is used to hold the brew solution while it ferments. Any container will do so long as it is airlock and has a small valve through which fermentation gasses could escape. This valve should allow the escape of gas but should not allow the entry of microbes and dust that could contaminate the solution. That means maximizing all your skills in brewing beers to service growing number of beer lovers. Is not this amazing? Your original plan of cutting expenses or your curiosity may end this far. Well, you may argue that others will just be contented with personal recognition and may not venture on commercializing their home made product. So how are you to know that the beer is ready for bottling? Now there are two ways on how to tell if it's ready for packaging. One is to check the bubbles that come out of the lock; if the bubbles pop no more than one per minute then it's ready. Another test is by checking the yeast. If it's on the bottom, then it's prime up for bottling. There may be some area where there's no home brewing store around, and you might be the unlucky few who live in that area. Well, you don't have to worry since there are also home brewing sites online where you can order supplies and discuss information about home brewing. 3.
