My first batch of home brewed beer, an American IPA is currently fermenting in my basement. Heres how it all went down.
After boiling the water it is time to pour in the pre-mashed malt. This stuff is very thick and slow to pour out. And sweet to taste.
These are the pellet hops that came with the kit. Basically just hops compressed into a pellet for easier measuring. This bowl went in the boiling malt and water within the first five minutes of boiling.
The malt, hops and water boiling after about 30 minutes. It smells really good.
Here is the finished beer with the yeast poured in. It is now in my basement fermenting. In two weeks I will have to bottle the beer, adding priming sugar to add carbonation.
