BeerSaturday: Home Brew!!
BeerSaturday: Home Brew!!
Around 7 weeks ago, I decided it was time for another home brew!!. Above you can see my grains and hops!! I wanted to make a bit of a more hoppy beer, thus decided to add three different types of hops.
I used a 50l urn to do my mash. (Mashing is where the starch in the grain is turned into sugar) I heated up 25l of water to 67 degrees Celcius and soaked my grains in it for 90 minutes. On the photo below, you can see my grains in the grain bag, hanging in the water.
After the mash was finished, I heated up the water to boiling point and added the Nugget hops 15 minutes into the boil. At 45 minutes, I added the Cascade and Amarillo hops. (In all cases, I just used half of the hops in each packet) In the photo below, you can see the hops pellets.
While my brew was going on, I could even write my Daily Scripture post for the day.
After the boiling is done, the wort has to be cooled down and then put into the fermentation bucket, where the yeast is added. I used Mangrove Jack's M44 yeast.
I left the brew to ferment for 3 weeks, after which it was time to bottle the beer.
After 3 weeks in the bottle, the beer went into the fridge and then it was time to taste the beer after a very long wait!!
The beer poured with a nice hazy golden color, with a very nice white head on top of it!!
Just look at that great fluffy white head.
This beer did not just looked amazing, it also tasted great, it has a nice hoppy taste (Although I could have added some more hops), with a slight bitterness. I calculated the alcohol content to be around 6%, which is a very good number for a home brew!! Everybody who has tasted this beer liked it - thus I am very happy with the result!!
I hope you enjoyed the post as much as I enjoyed writing it.
All the photos, were taken by me, with my iPhone and Samsung phone, at my home, in Pretoria, South Africa.

@rynow,
Grains means rice? I think you are using Kakulu (Red) Rice! So, we can brew our own beer at home! But I don't know where to find hops in my country :(

I did not use rice, but I believe you will be able to use rice as well. I used barley.

Yes, it is very nice to drink your home brew, and to give to friends and see their reaction. I love the brew in the bag method, to me you can experiment a lot with this method, and it is all your own ideas!!
