This is where your life-long obsession with beer making will begin. This process, known as 'Extract Beer Brewing', opens your beer making world up to the foundations of actual brewing. Whereas with kit beers typically all of the ingredients are infused into one syrup and you basically just add water, with extract beers you evolve into a purer form of the process that separates all the ingredients

So I figure I'll start off the technique portion of this with the easiest one: Kit Beer. This is basically exactly what the name says, beer in a kit. They are available at most Wine and Beer Making stores and supply shops, and have everything you need all in one canister. You simply open it up to find some hop-infused malt extract, and some yeast. All you have to do is fill your fermenter (pail

So now that we're all familiar with ingredients, lets move onto some brewing techniques... actually, I started writing this post and found that there is just WAY too much info to spew at once, so I'm gonna recommend something and then try and segment my thoughts into future posts. My suggestion is to visit the link I have at the side for "Canadian Homebrewing Supplies" and find the book "The

So as my first real post about beer, I thought I would start this blog off by explaining how beer is made (for those of you reading that don't know). It's funny how much in life we consume without ever stopping to discover what actually makes up the product we're eating or drinking. We just sit back and say, "Damn that's good", and continue consuming. Beer, as it turns out, is a very simple and

This blog is soon to be regularly updated, probably in a months time, with all the happenings with my beer making experiences. I've been homebrewing for just under a year, and am starting to churn out some pretty awesome beers. Come and check it out every once in awhile as I'll post beer making recipes and my thoughts on beer in general. Should be fun. Later, and remember to always "spill some
