Home Brewing

Pouring the pale malt into the copper heating kettle to make my "home" brew beer. The brewing company offers about 80 different beer recipes and supplies raw ingredients and equipment to allow you to brew your own beer.

My Double Daffy Ale recipe showing you the precise ingredients and quantities.
You also follow a detailed procedure and time schedule.
It takes about 90 minutes.





The wort is then pumped into a keg for fermentation. In the process, it is cooled and pure oxygen is pumped in. Finally you add the yeast. You can employ them to mix the brew for you but you must add(pitch) the yeast yourself so that, legally, they are not making alcohol - you are.
They control the temperatures etc.
3 weeks later you bottle it using their bottling machines which filters and carbonates it.

Wine can also be made!
