The great thing with using wine or beer making kits, is that you’ll not only have all the gear and equipment but some companies that sell the kits may even throw in a few extra cases of beer. These kits can cost any thing between $80 and $150 and is dependent on the amount of beer or wine that you’ll want to brew. You’ll some times find that some kits have a secondary fermenter with ingredients.

You’ll first of all need to heat the water; you then turn the heat off and add dry malt extract into the brewing pot which should consist of grains of tied muslin. You’ll then reapply the heat and really boil up the brew, then add bittering hops and leave to boil. Then put the last bag of muslin bag and hop in and the wort in after five minutes, right at the end of the boil. Leave the pot to cool right until the pot is not too hot to touch, and then sanitize the wort and then spoon.

You’ll need to add around 2.5 gallons of cold water to your sanitized bucket and then put the decant to cooled wort into the fermenter, lid the bucket and rock the sealed bucket off and on for around five minutes. Last of all you’ll put the fermenter at a temperature of between 65 and 75 degrees, bottle your bear or wine after you’ve siphoned it from the fermenter and into a bottle allowing the beer or wine to condition for around two to three weeks, once finished you can then enjoy.
