How is beer made?

October 6th, 2009

Beer is not only one of the most popular drinks around the globe, but is also surprisingly easy to make. Here is a quick guide on how to make beer.The basic beer recipe contains only four ingredients – water, yeast, malted grains and hops. All beers are made using these ingredients, with the only additions being things such as fruit or spices to create speciality beers. The only differences in how each beer is made is the quantities of each ingredient used and slight variations in the beer brewing process to create either lagers or ales.The first step in the Beer brewing methods is to ensure that the ingredients used are all of the highest quality, for example by having purified water. The malted grains (usually barley) are passed through a pipe and water is added to help them release their sugar, before the whole mixture is mashed to break down the starch and begin fermenting.
