Happy National Learn to Homebrew Day to all our new, home and pro brewers out there! If you're looking to get into the best hobby ever, it's much easier than you think. Beer has 4 main ingredients: Mat, Hops, Yeast and Water. Malt: The grain that has been specifically prepared for brewing. The grains contribute sugar which is later turned into alcohol. Hops: Hops help to keep beer fresher longer and help beer retain its head of foam--a key component of a beer's aroma and flavor, and of course, adds a "hoppy" aroma, flavor and bitterness. Yeast: The microorganism responsible for fermentation in beer. It metabolizes the sugars extracted from grains, which produce alcohol and carbon dioxide and turns wort into beer. Water: The key to a great beer starts with the high quality water. Water chemistry can play a large role in the final taste profile of the beer. So what do you do with all these? Swipe to see milling, mashing and more. Now get out there and brew...cuz It's Brew Day! #itsbrewday #homebrew #homebrewing #homebrewer #homebrewery #homebrewer #brewday #craftbrew #brewery #brewing #dohomebrew #homebrewingonly #spikebrewing #beer #craftbeer #beerlover #brewday #beerstagram #beerlover #nationallearntohomebrewday #learntohomebrew #nationalhomebrewday
