Once you have mastered regular beer brewing you may want to branch out and explore other beer tastes. You can easily use extracts to add special flavors to your next batch of beer. These specialty beers can be fun and interesting to make and taste. When experimenting with beer recipes be sure that you always write down your exact measurements for each particular batch. That way you can be sure to duplicate it exactly if it turns out well. The best type of beer you can use to add flavorings to is a moderate, light grain beer. Often a wheat-based beer provides the perfect simple backdrop for the addition of other flavorings. The alcohol content of these beers is generally low, making the beer...

So, you may have a few extract batches under your belt and are ready to take the plunge into all-grain brewing, or you may be skipping the extract method all together. Either way, you're ready to brew some homebrew the traditional way that has been done for several hundreds of years. The equipment, while adapted to today's technology, is still very similar to the equipment used by colonial American brewers and even trappist monks in the 1600s. The main difference in all-grain brewing from extract brewing is the additional equipment needed. Items you will need: Mash Tun (a converted cooler does well) Minimum 8 gallon brew pot Propane burner (with the ability to boil 7 gallons of liquid) The rest of...

A city as culturally rich and diverse as London is bound to have a great number of historical pubs and buildings sprinkled throughout its centre, from the East End alleyways to Oxford Circus. And with real ale breweries still standing tall against the tyranny of fizzy lager and alcopops, there's never been a better time to sample the delights of Ye Olde London. But with so many establishments going for that 'authentic' look, how can one distinguish the genuine from the impostors? With this small guide, that's how. Of course, there are too many good old fashioned ale houses to possibly mention, so here's a shortlist of my favourites in no particular order. All of these alehouses can be visited in a...

Being a lady, I am ashamed to say I am a big beer drinker. Tsingtao beer has to be my favourite. It actually originates from China, but was founded by German settlers in 1903, so I don't know what you would call it. Is Tsingtao beer German or Chinese? Research indicates that the beer should be the ethnicity of where it was produced, just like in human terms. So Tsingtao is indeed Chinese beer. I enjoy a nice frosty pint, but Tsingtao beer is hard to come by on draft, much like corona, it is widely available in bottles. I first became hooked on Tsing tao beer during my semester in America, and while I was there, bottles seemed to be the safer option to drink from anyway, as drink drugging on a night...

Vaginal yeast infection is a common fungal infection caused by fungi of the Candida specie. It results in excessive itching and burning sensations of the affected area. Wet and moist conditions are favorable for their growth and if not cured in time, the infection becomes severe. Beer is known to make a vaginal yeast infection worse because yeast is used in brewing. Although it does not constitute yeast of the Candida variety, it is enough to allow the Candida albicans that is the yeast infection causing fungi, to grow. Since the yeast infection causing fungi is already present in our body in small quantities, favorable conditions are likely to cause an overgrowth that leads to infection. Therefore...

It's an accepted practice to age wine, since pretty much everyone knows that wine gets better with age. What is not widely known, however, is that some beer gets better with age. Sure, we're bombarded with beer ads every day that tell you the opposite - that beer is best served fresh. For most beers, this is the truth. For a small percentage, however, aging make a good beer even better. So if you have some room in that ranch home plan for a beer cellar, you may want to consider it. The best part is it doesn't even have to take up a lot of room. You can store a few bottles, a few cases, or as much beer as you can fit in your space. It's all up to you! Before you check out your English cottage house...

"body"> Everyone in business today is trying to reduce their operating costs; I don't think there is a small business in existence that is making too much money. We spend time with our chefs reviewing food cost, and our GM or manager going over our pour cost. I think it's amazing how much money you can actually save if you take the time to review and measure on a weekly basis. This is a process that takes time, effort and managing. If the managers do the work and we don't review it, or pay attention to the information, it ends up being an effort in futility. As an owner, we tend to focus on costs controlled by our managers; we measure them and even bonus managers on their numbers. This is a typical...

p>At the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School, Dr. Margo A. Denke, an Associate Professor of Medicine, conducted clinical research on the health effects of alcohol, and beer in particular. The results of her 2001 study found that moderate consumption of alcohol can lower risk of heart disease and stroke. "The majority of more recent large population-based studies have observed that moderate drinking in the range of one to three drinks daily is associated with a 30-40 percent lower rate of coronary heart disease compared to non-drinking," wrote Dr. Denke. She cited several reasons for her findings. - alcohol increases HDL and this could account for 30-50 percent of the moderate alcohol...

Imagine a setting where you are comfortably seated in front of your TV with some close buddies watching your favorite game and beer cans in your hands. A perfect evening setting where nothing can disturb you excepting for your beer can which tends to warm up rapidly when you bring it out of your fridge and makes you run every 15 minutes for a fresh chilled can. What a waste of time and energy. Beer jackets are meant to help you enjoy the match undisturbed as it helps to maintain the cool temperature of the drink for a good 40 minutes. Normally without a coozie your drink would remain cool only for 15 minutes. Another problem is that your hands get wet due to the condensation on the outside of the...

Some of the best beer you can ever taste is found in a town called Anchorage. Yes, I said it. The best beer, or more specifically best micro beer, is found in the city of Anchorage. Its called Raspberry Wheat and its found at a restaurant called Moose's Tooth. The restaurant is one of the most popular restaurants in the city. They are really more known for their pizza and make small of the best in town. It could rival any other pizza establishment and put it to shame. But what we are more interested in is their beer. The flavor is remarkable. The crispness of apple cider mixed with the tanginess of raspberry makes this beer truly delightful to say the least. I have a friend who hates the taste of...

Setting up a Fermenter for Fermentation It really helps to contain some information on the fermentation process and have a high quality fermenter that can retain a constant temperature at all times. Fermentation is basically the making of alcohol which is done by mixing sugar, yeast and water. Yeast is a living organism and if the water is kept at the correct temperature the yeast cells will go to work on the sugar and react in a way that creates a combination of fifty /fifty alcohol and carbon dioxidedioxide (which normally gets shaken out of the solution during the fermentation process). Alcohol strength can be varied by the various types of yeast so you really do have complete control over the...

If you are relatively new to home beer brewing I am guessing that, at one time or another, you've paused to wonder what exactly is happening during the fermentation process. After all, this all happens without much input from you but is absolutely critical to the whole process. If the fermentation process doesn't happen like you want it to, all your other efforts are wasted. Even more importantly, without the fermentation process there is no beer! For there to be fermentation there must first be yeast. Yeasts are living micro-organisms that science classifies as fungus. There are around 1,500 species of yeast that have been described and that is estimated to be just 1% of the total. The specific...

The first thing you will need to do is acquire the ingredients and equipment for this brew.

Before you bottle your beer, you have to sanitize the bottles, otherwise bacteria can form in the bottle and ruin the entire batch. The first step of the process is to prepare a place for the bottles to sit while they are being sanitized. This should be a place that can hold 50 beet bottles. In home brewing, the best place for this is the bathtub. To prepare the bathtub, first scrub the tub will with bleach, then fill it up with water and a full bottle of bleach. Let this solution sit for a day and rinse. The second step is to make another mixture of bleach and water. This mixture should be approximately one teaspoon of bleach per gallon. If doing this in a bathtub, it is about 2 cups of water. The...

type="text/javascript"> It is commonly known that beer has been around mankind for a long time. As beer itself developed, expanded, and advanced, so did the way in which we got the beer to our mouths. Pottery, wood, stoneware, and even sewn up bits of leather made up the earliest drinking vessels. As time went on, humans witnessed small advancements in the quality of their beer receptacles. Early Europeans that lived during the era of the Bubonic plague saw the creation of beer steins, which had an enclosed top on the steins to prevent bugs from getting in the brew and getting the person ill. Nowadays, the most important thing to affect modern beer glass production was the creation of glass. As...
