Brewing Beer 101
A simple Google search on how to brew beer will result in 1,000’s of resources,
The amount of information is overwhelming and there are many opinions on the
best ingredients, equipment and best processes.
Here is a quick overview on the beer brewing process:
1. Malted barley is soaked in hot water to release the malt sugars.
2. The malt sugar solution is boiled with Hops for seasoning.
3. The solution is cooled and yeast is added to begin fermentation.
4. The yeast ferments the sugars, releasing CO2 and ethyl alcohol.
When the main fermentation is complete, the beer is bottled and capped with a
little bit of added sugar to provide the carbonation.
Beer Brewing Supplies and Equipment

2. Brewing beer for yourself, friends, family, events or for purchase is a creative
process. Choosing where to buy and what portions of barley, wheat and hops can
be a fun process. The good thing is there are a ton of great websites to find and
experiment with these ingredients. To jump into the conversation and learn about
rare hops, specialty malts and exotic yeasts, check out The HomeBrew Forum or
Home Brew Talk.
Getting started is easy with a home beer brewing kit and there are many to choose
from, depending on how much money you want to spend. For those more
experienced, our friends at More Beer seemed to have a wide selection of parts,
supplies and equipment.
We might be biased, although, having the best bottles and caps to show off your
beer is important. Check out the selection of 12, 16, and 22 ounce classic longneck
round amber glass beer bottles. At Packaging Options Direct, we have a full
selection of beer bottles to showcase your beer.
