The process of brewing beer starts with grains, often barley, you can also use oats and wheat. The grains are harvested and handled through heating, drying, and cracking. The malt used decides the color of the beer. Further, malt is added to the mash and steeped in hot water, producing a sugar liquid called wort.

2. Boiling and Adding Hops

Adding hops at the beginning of the boil will create bitterness, the hops added during the middle of the boil will create flavor, and the hops added at the end of the boil will create aroma. You should maintain a vigorous, rolling boil for the full hour.

3. Fermentation

Yeast is added once the wort gets cool. The yeast captures the sugar, producing carbon dioxide and alcohol. You can consider adding more hops or flavorings to make the perfect beer you’d prefer.
