Home Brewing Recipes: Craft Beer Tips You Can Do at Home for the Fall


Oktoberfest Beers Another option for fall craft beers is the malty dark lagers (Marzens) that are characteristic of Oktoberfest celebrations. To create your own, start with a basic Helles recipe. Kick the base malt up to a gravity of 1.055-1.060. Just add some more bittering hops to make up for the added base malt boost. Some Other Autumn Flavors Worth Considering Maple is always a popular craft brew ingredient in the fall. The uniquely robust autumn flavor can be achieved by mixing maple syrup (fresh, if possible) with yams, molasses, nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla with your yeast of choice. Light sour flavors and caramel are equally satisfying fall flavors that can make a tasty craft beer perfect for soothing a fall chill.

Pieces of Equipment Needed to Make the Move to All Grain Home Brewin


Home brewing in California has become an increasingly popular pastime. While many home brewers rely on extract brewing and beer kits to simplify the process, others are interested in the flexibility and creativity provided by all grain brewing. Learning the equipment you need can seem a daunting task at first, but retailers can help when looking for home brewing supplies in Sacramento. The overhead cost of purchasing equipment will ultimately pay off in the end. Vessel The heart of the brewing process is the vessel or vessels needed to hold your mixture through the various stages. If you have any interest in expanding your yield, consider buying vessels larger than what you need for preparation. A mash tun holds your grains and water during the mash and needs to be able to sustain temperatures of up to 175 degrees.

Brewing Supplies and Methods to Use for Creating Your Own Beer at Home


With the rising popularity of craft beers, the entry barrier to becoming a brewer has become lower. It's easier than ever to find brewing supplies in Sacramento, and new techniques allow aspiring brewers to learn the trade with a small budget and minimal experience. There are three major techniques that cater to various levels of skill and experience. Home Beer Kit Many first-time brewers begin with a home beer kit. These kits serve as something of an introductory-level course, guiding you through the methodology and chemistry behind the beer making process. Home kits typically consist of a tin of malt extract pre-mixed with malts and a yeast packet. The process is as simple as could be and involves just mixing the yeast and malts together and letting the brew ferment. While it's simple and guaranteed to provide a quality taste, it doesn't allow the customization you get with more advanced techniques.

A Detailed Guide to Wine Making from the Comfort of Your Own Home


Home wine making is a skill that's easy to learn but difficult to master. Experience is the only way to get better, but the process is simple enough to start in an afternoon. In the simplest form of wine making, all you need to do is mix juice, sugar, and yeast and let it ferment for 10 to 30 days. However, the result won't be particularly pleasant. Creating a rich and full-bodied wine requires carefully picking fruits that capture the flavor you want and relying on the right chemicals and equipment to give it the perfect taste. Start by making sure all your equipment and ingredients are fully washed and cleaned. Pick sour or rotten fruit from the batch. If you don't have a wine press, you'll need to crush the fruit yourself, using a strainer, a bucket, and your clean feet.

Art of Beer Making: How Adjuncts Can Affect Your Home Brewing Recipes


Beer brewing is an art that is almost as old as civilization itself. For millennia, people have tried to craft and perfect their own home brewing recipes using different grains and equipment that helped them achieve good tasting beer. Today’s beer is mainly made from barley, and some beer enthusiasts would insist that a top-quality drink should only be made from barely. However, other grains are also just as capable of whipping up a great batch of the famous drink. Wheat, sorghum, rye, oats, corn, rice, and even sugar are all known as adjuncts. The term “adjunct” refers to any unmalted grain used in beer brewing to supplement the main ingredient (commonly malted barley). Some people think that adjuncts are only used to cut down on production costs, since some grains like rice and corn are cheaper than barley.

Home Brewing 101: The Differences of Extract and All-Grain Beer Brew


Home brewers have two options when it comes to making beer at home: extract brewing and all-grain brewing. To begin with, it is important to understand the home brewing process itself. Beer is a result of fermenting malt sugar. The traditional process of making beer is to mash grains, take the remaining sugars as base, introduce the yeast, and then wait for it to ferment. Traditionally, all-grain is the only way to brew beer; however, today’s technology has made it possible to brew even with extracts only. In simple terms, an extract is a ready-made malt that can be immediately used as a base. Extract brewing allows the brewers to skip over the malting and mashing process and go right ahead to the fermenting process.

Fired Up Fun: Making Chili-Laced Beers with Your Home Brewing Supplies


It is common for beer lovers, particularly those who brew their own, to check their beer’s label and study the content. Some ingredients, like milk or fruits, can certainly point to the brewers’ creativity, but the use of chili peppers surely reflects the brewer’s preference for the hot stuff. If you want to give your homemade brew a kick, a dash of chili pepper could be the answer. Caution: Hot Zone In his article for Brew Your Own magazine, Scott Russell says there are many cardinal elements to consider before you even go about making your own chili beer. One main point is that the chili content must not overpower your brewed malt and hops. The beer itself should be well-brewed and can stand their ground.

Gathering Wine Making Supplies for Crafting Up the ‘Tangerine Dream’


There are many fruits which can be used for homemade wines. Specific citrus varieties, like tangerine, have become perennial favorites by home winemakers who want to craft something different from the products available at the nearest liquor store. Tangerine 101 Tangerines, also known by their scientific name citrus reticulata, have been tagged as cousins of oranges. Along with satsumas, tangerines come from the Mandarin family of citrus trees, and both originated from Southeast Asia. Tangerines are recognizable by their smaller size compared to oranges, and are also easier to peel than oranges. Some of the well-known tangerine varieties include the much sought-after Wilking and Kinnow, the Nova, and the Changsha. However, you have to be careful when shopping around for tangerines – a few citrus fruits may be passed off as tangerines but are not “true” tangerines, such as Calamondins and Minneota Tangeloes.

Perfect Your Home Brewing Recipes with Proper Wine Tasting Techniques


Has six months passed since you made wine using your starter kit from The Brewmeister? That means the home-made wine sitting in your basement is now finally ready for tasting. But wait; do you know how to properly assess your wine? Knowing the proper wine tasting techniques will give you the necessary skill to determine if your home brewing recipes are successful. Here are pointers on how to properly taste and assess wine: 1. Pouring the Wine – Proper wine tasting starts at the pouring itself. In a restaurant, the waiter will do this for you, but at your own home, you need to do it yourself. When pouring, make sure that the bottle is about 6-10 inches from the bottom of the glass, to allow the liquid to aerate as you pour, thus improving the taste.

Modern Home Brewing Supplies and the Time-Tested Art of Beer Making


Beer is almost as old as civilization itself. Some historians believe that beer making started some 10 millenniums ago when our ancient ancestors moved away from hunting and gathering, and started agriculture. Nobody really knows how it was invented, but the common belief is that a barrel of bread or grain got wet and turned into pulp. Someone must have tried this pulp, either out of curiosity or hunger, and found it good. Majority of the ancient civilizations, like the Mesopotamians and the Egyptians, included the drink in many of their religious ceremonies. One has to wonder, however, if the beer made today is still the same as the ancient beer that our ancestors created. The answer is no. While the brewing process and techniques remain largely unchanged, the home brewing supplies back then were different.

Create Fine Red Wine: First, Choose Topnotch Wine Making Supplies


In just the right amount, people who drink alcohol or wine can actually benefit from it. According to Medical News Today, wine consumption, particularly the red variety, can reduce risks of many chronic illnesses, like dementia, cancer, diabetes, and heart problems. Previous studies have shown that red wine offers the most health benefits due to a compound found in red grapes, called resveratrol, which serves as an antioxidant in the body. Medical experts believe that this is the key ingredient that makes red wine suitable as beverage when taken in moderately. This ingredient in red wine also helps reduce the production of bad cholesterol, keep blood vessels from being damaged, and help avoid blood clots.

Bottoms Up! Essential Brewing Supplies for the Budding Home Brewer


When you're thinking of starting home brewing in Sacramento, California, don't be intimidated by the catalog of brewing supplies you often see on the Internet. Home brewing is actually pretty simple; the key thing is to have quality tools and ingredients to begin with. Here are a few things you'll need to start your brewing hobby. The Supplies Basically, you'll need a brewing bucket, a bubbler, a siphon hose, and some bottles. The brewing bucket is where all of the action happens, while the bubbler lets gas escape from the bucket during the fermentation process so as to keep the container from bursting. The siphon hose is mostly needed to pour out the beer into the bottles for storage or if you wish you can pour drinks directly from the bucket.

Stock Up on Quality Wine Making Supplies to Create Tasty Fruit Wine


People who are interested in becoming wine makers often focus on making traditional wines; however, with all of the available wine making supplies from stores like The Brewmeister (with locations in West Sacramento, Sacramento, other nearby areas and online) a prospective home wine maker can easily branch out beyond grapes as the main source of flavor for their wine. It’s easy and fun. You also avoid the decision-making involved with choosing a particular type of grape to create either a red or white wine. All you need is a fruit (other than grapes) that you’d like to make a wine out of. The Flavors Considering the wide range of flavors available to you when you want to make fruit wine, you’ll need to narrow it down. You could pick something close to grapes; blueberries, strawberries, and others from the berry family taste as well as grapes. Blueberries in particular make a very mild, sweet wine, while strawberries and other berries with strong flavors can provide full-bodied and

If you’d like to get started on making your own beer, read on for a look at the basic process.

Some Home Wine Making Processes and How They Affect The Final Product


If there’s one thing a budding home wine maker has to know, it’s this: a wine maker’s touch can greatly affect the resulting wine’s flavor. While the type and quality of grapes you use are very important to the results, individual touches can put your own unique stamp in your creation. Quality wine making supplies from West Sacramento shops like The Brewmeister will certainly make the process easier for you, but it’s the little details that can set your wine apart from the others. Here are some of those finer points to watch out for. Grape Harvest Date If you’re growing your own fruit for your home wine making venture, consider these factors affecting grape maturity which determines the perfect time to harvest them. For instance, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir variations are picked ahead of others since they ripen much earlier. Late ripening varieties like Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sangiovese follow suit.

DIY Beer: Worth Every Penny Spent on Brewing Supplies in Sacramento


WiseBread.com contributor Marla Walters is familiar with brewing homemade beer. After her husband started the hobby, their kitchen was practically turned into a brewery—there’s a big stockpot with foam on the sides, a gigantic thermometer, tubes, and oddly shaped brushes. There’s also a bag of “carbonation drops” (which look like lemon drops, but are white), bottle caps, a capping apparatus, and a six-gallon glass “carboy” which is a huge, heavy bottle full of future beer. These are among the most essential tools and equipment required for brewing homemade beer, available from a Sacramento brewing supplies stores, such as The Brewmeister.

The Tao Of Home Wine Making: Is Producing Your Own Booze For You?


If you’ve seen a lot of people visit local home brewing and wine making stores lately like local West Sacramento wine making supplies store the Brewmeister, you shouldn’t be surprised. A myriad of old-school artisanal products and skills are enjoying a renaissance these days—among them the phenomenon of creating your own booze. Contributor Julie Tisner for Redbook Magazine shares her rather quirky thoughts on why such renaissance is occurring. She argues that people with old-world skills will be indispensable when some sort of apocalyptic occurrence dawns on mankind. Of course, some of the common jobs nowadays wouldn’t matter in such situations—would the likes of a social media guru or a yoga teacher be able to help in a post-apocalyptic, Internet-free landscape? Probably not. Put someone who can brew a drink from nature forward, however, and then survival is possible.
