There’s nothing better and more satisfying than producing a beer to your exact specifications.<br /><br />The 4 most important tips I can give you about home brewing are:<br />1/ Sanitation (everything must be bug free post boil)<br />2/ Fermentation temperature (keep within recommended yeast ferment temps)<br />3/ Yeast pitching rate (use correct amount to ferment fully and avoid off-flavours)<br /><br />If you’re interested why not pop and see us at the Norwich Brewing Club meeting next Monday 19th May 7:30pm at the Ribs of Beef (downstairs in the Wherry Room). One of us will be talking about German beers & beer styles and conducting a tasting. We can’t promise beats and we don’t bite but there will be booze!<br />Mark CClamberskullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03843869339289047655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7115711129217514621.post-14403853952273851422014-05-12T21:36:58.021+01:002014-05-12T21:36:58.021+01:00Hi Nate.

Brewing 1-gallon batches gives a lot of control over the process, and reduces chances of spoiling when it's fermented like wine under an airlock. Just my 2 pence worth. Good luck with the brewing.
