Better Home Brew Formula Training – Better Brewing Network

I’m about to show you the most linear path to go from clueless rookie brewer to pouring home brewed beers so tasty, they make micro brews seem like the watered down fizzy yellow beer…
Sure, you must tame the beast – but when you do, boy let me tell you… when you hit that ‘spot’ and learn how to extract the best flavors from malt, hops, yeast and water it’s a mouthgasm waiting to happen… one sip of your beer will give you that head turning reaction that pries your eyes wide open and pulls your ears back…
If you are looking for the secret formula to brew better beer at home, then stop whatever you are doing, crack open a cold one and read on…
I researched forums online and dug into websites that were pretty much full blown home brew chemistry books… (which you may have seen)…
… and it wasn’t long before I was overwhelmed with information and terms I’d never heard before… vorlauf, sparge, mash, hop utilization, etc.
Add malt to water, boil, cool, add yeast and let sit for a couple weeks to bottle and drink, right?… Well, I went for it, fired up the kettles and brought a couple gallons of brew to a boil not realizing it takes a while…
It was like watching a volcano spit out foam-covered liquid that sizzled as it caramelized on the burner… Luckily I was close enough to yank the pot off the heat, which controlled the boilover and allowed me to keep brewing…
Everything was going well until I submerged the pot into the ice bath, and saw the ice dissapear before I could even bring my brew below 100 °F hot…
The thought of ruining my brew clouded my thinking and I poured the hot brew into my primary fermentor… luckily the cold water I used to top off to five gallons brought my brew close to yeast pitching temperature…
… but once I pitched the yeast and thought my gut-wrenching feeling of “ruining my beer” would forever disappear…
This gave the word ‘Anxious’ a whole new meaning… I was using a plastic bucket and couldn’t see what was going on inside… I checked up on my brew every 15 minutes for the next 36 hours!
… No matter how hard I tried I just couldn’t stop feeling like I’d ruined my beer… like I had done something wrong…
I had no clue if fermentation was actually happening… no clue what to do should the worst did happen… and I did what any clueless beginner brewer would do, decided to move the fermentor around and warm it up to ‘fix it’… but this was a big mistake…
Sometimes the airlock doesn’t bubble, yet fermentation IS actually happening… In fact the airlock did start to bubble shortly after…
Turns out I transferred my beer prematurely and it gave my beer a sour green apple taste… “green beer” they call it…
When I asked the forums about this, they said I bottled too soon and that time would “clean up” the off-flavors…
But that just turned my beer into a gushing liquid no one in their right mind would drink… not what I had in mind when I first fired up the kettle… undrinkable…
Frankly I wasn’t sure if brewing was for me… I brewed a few more batches, but was never able to brew the tasty beer everyone else swore up and down I would get by brewing my own beer at home…
When I told my home brew club about this, they said it must be “me” doing something wrong… that I wasn’t being patient enough or clean enough… but waiting more time only disappointed me when I poured beers that would fizz up like soda…
Then one day, almost by accident, I stumbled across a home brewer who shared with me one simple brewing method that allowed me to brew better than micro-brewery quality beer…
I used to lose sleep over my beers not coming out right or tasting off… especially if I had friends with me trying out the first couple bottles…
But now, I could brew, pitch the yeast and walk away without worrying about the airlock bubbling and the beer fermenting…
Beers poured deliciously clean, clear, with a creamy foam on top that rode the beer all the way down to the last sip…
People were actually begging me to buy my beer… to brew beer for their weddings… to open up my own micro-brewery…
I became like a beer chef… I would decide on a beer style to brew and know immediately what ingredients and brewing process would give me the right flavors, aromas and colors…
I even learned how to combine yeast strains to get different yeast characteristics not available to the average home brewer who doesn’t know THIS method…
I could brew beer and not worry about making mistakes like forgetting to add bittering hops, irish moss or some other silly mistake…
Yet, if I did make a mistake I knew what to do to turn the beer into a tasty and drinkable beer… I finally understood the phrase “it’s hard to screw up a beer”…
I couldn’t believe this myself and thought that all along maybe it was ‘just me’ worrying too much about my beers not coming out right and all I needed was to relax, not worry and have a home brew… enjoy the hobby…
So I decided to share this method with a few home brewers and let them brew their next batch of beer using this method…
I had discovered a fool-proof method that lets home brewers brew tasty beers even if… Read more…
