how easy is it to make home brew lagar, beers is it expensive?

Answer 1

no its not really expensive, it might cost you about £40-£50 to get all your equipment from your fermenting bin, barrel, co2 bottle, pipes, hydrometer and cleaner but once you got that you can make lager, bitter,ale and even stout in about 4 weeks and most canned beers usually start at about £4-50p (which i saw in Morrison's) and when you work it out for a cheap beer like that you can make 5 gallons (40 pints) of beer which is great!
i have been a beer maker for the last 5 years and love making it!!!

Answer 2

Brewing beer in general is not difficult. Like most people have answered you can get a basic kit at any homebrew store. Specifically brewing lagers as opposed to ales gets a little trickier. Lager yeast needs cooler temperatures to ferment properly. I checked out www.whitelabs.com and their pilsner lager yeast needs to ferment between 50 and 55 degrees Fahrenheit. This is a difficult temperature to maintain without some sort of refrigeration. Many homebrewers convert chest freezers to handle this task. If you are interested in making beers I would suggest starting with ales. The ale yeast does well at room temperature, about 70 - 75 degrees. Like any hobby you can do it pretty cheap, under $100 U.S. to get started but you can make it pretty expensive when you start buying more and more stuff. I hope this helps.

I've had great fun making home beer. I've used raw ingredients like hops and barley and made a great stout beer. I've also used a kit with all the makings prepared.

The latter is much easier, but if you use a kit, do not add too much sugar in the belief that the yeast will convert it all to alcohol; it just adds too much yeast taste to the beer.

If you do not mind the "rough" taste of you beer, it really does turn out to be inexpensive, not just for the criminal tax (UK) that you avoid.

Once you have purchased all the kit, you will save a lot of loot on subsequent brews, also, your skills will evolve until you are able to brew the finest home-beer... (hic!)

Answer 4

It's easy enough, and don't cost much, but you need a little basic equipment, and room to put those things in. You will need a warm place to ferment the beer or larger in for several weeks, or a piece of equipment that does this job. You can get books on home brewing from your local library, they will tell you all that is involved.

Answer 5

the yankee gentle Ale, Bitters in England, and the IPA are the least perplexing beer for novices. IPA is easy via fact which you basically load it with hops and it comes out bitter as envisioned. in case you want a extra ideal English IPA it rather is extra calculated yet no longer rocket technological expertise with the aid of any stretch. be careful approximately malt liquor in that many are real solid particularly if we evaluate it with the aid of variety or designation and not with the aid of label or recognition.

Answer 6

You can buy a home microbrewery which comes with everything you need. Just Google "home microbrewery".

I think it works out cheaper than buying the beer, but I can't confirm what it tastes like.

Answer 7

Its as cheapas you like, watch the fermentation though, follow the instructions, not too much sugar, and seal bottles carefully. good luck
