Home Brew

My brother and his friend have recently become involved in the hobby of making home brewed ales, beers and meads. I have been following some of their "adventures" with my camera and created this video. This is not my best video/movie but it is the longest that I have ever made. It also features music played by my nephew, Scott Terrell...

I  live in a dry town What are most important stuff to make a home brew ?

[jubchuqun]

I depends on what you are making. Porters, Lagers, Stouts, etc. Most use hops, barley, sugar, yeast. More important is the process. You have to sterilize, and everything has to be in a certain sequence for certain periods of times. You need various equipment. I would look up info online. There are lots of hobbyists and websites.

How about with juice and sugar with yeast I don't know what kind of yeast put in the bucket with plastic bag in it what would the measurements should be? to the easiest way to make one

What you are describing sounds more like a fruit wine. Beers & ales require cooking the barley, hops, malt, etc. The hot mix has to be chilled, then water added, priming sugar, yeast, etc. My brother does most of the technical stuff, involving devices to measure specific gravity, temperature, etc. It is a bit too complex to explain in one of these little text boxes. (Thus all the "etc.'s")

Excellent work. It is nice to see you Americans making some stouts and ales. Prior to that nasty thing called prohibition you had some really nice beers and ales. Get making them again so us Yorkshireman can sample them with you. At the moment I am enjoying my home made elderberry wine.

The latest developments in our home brewing is making a kegerator, made from an old refrigerator which will hold a couple of kegs and will have dispensers on the front. We have also experiment with a European Bock adding apple, orange and lemon & lime in 3 small batches. They are bottled now, but I have not sample any yet. Should be interesting!

I've become very fond of the Brown Ale. My brother makes an excellent one.
