You'll want to buy a kit and a book when you're starting out. But the essential info:
You start by heating a couple gallons of water and soaking grains for flavor. Then you bring it to a boil and add malt extract for body and whatever sugars the yeast will feed on. After an hour of boiling, you add hops for flavor and aroma, and then cool it down to a bit above room temperature as fast as you can.
Add in enough cool water to add up to five gallons and some yeast (pre-packaged will do first time around), and let it ferment in a closed container for a week. If you want it more clear, transfer it to a glass container and let it sit for another week.
Boil some priming sugar in some water and transfer your beer to a bucket with a siphon, adding the sugar as you transfer. Siphon the beer into bottles and cap them. Let them sit for a week and your beer is ready.
Those are just the basics, though. By buying a kit you can get more detail and create your own beer. It's very rewarding as a hobby and I highly recommend it! :)

verify your telephone e book for brewery provide shops. there is countless area of expertise kit needed, even if the folk in those shops ought to be able to training guide you by it. in case you stay in a city of better than about 10,000 human beings, there's a homebrew save someplace. you could order the stuff on-line, yet i ought to attend until eventually you've done it some situations. The shopkeepers are a wealth of ideas, and could no longer have any situation helping a first-timer. you do not many times get that aspect of service on-line. it is variety of too complicated of a technique to bypass into the following, yet there's a sturdy rundown on the links below. the first is short and sweet, the second one is lengthy yet very thorough. what's somewhat major to remember is that all and numerous of your kit ought to be tremendous-sanitary. bacteria from the outdoors international can get into your beer, kill the yeast, and leave you with a huge stinky bucket of germ water. As for whats-his-face's admonition about ingesting ethanol and going blind, i does no longer situation about that. Methanol is merely created in very small harmless parts, except you're distilling alcohol. yet then you somewhat'd be making moonshine, no longer beer.

Before you do that, apply the permit first... I think it is illegal to brew your own beer without license. (In SG)
