Comments on: If you like beer, why not make it yourself? http://www.madeupfood.com/if-you-like-beer-why-not-make-it-yourself/ just stuff I threw together Tue, 25 Oct 2011 01:32:15 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Alan http://www.madeupfood.com/if-you-like-beer-why-not-make-it-yourself/comment-page-1/#comment-104 Alan Wed, 25 Aug 2010 00:59:59 +0000 http://www.madeupfood.com/if-you-like-beer-why-not-make-it-yourself/#comment-104 Sorry you didn't approve. Looks like you might have missed my caveat about glossing over sanitation practices, etc. and other basic homebrewing best practices that are covered in basic homebrewing books. Of course, if you want to ensure that your beer doesn't get contaminated you should practice good sanitation and mise en place techniques for homebrewing. I'm a fan of Papazian's guide, myself, including his laid-back attitude about homebrewing. On the other hand, I have a friend who, as a mechanical engineer from MIT, is, shall we say, rather more scientific and lab-like about his brewing. I think he has a clean room you have to suit up in before entering his kitchen. You know what? We both make good homebrew. The point of my post was to show that you don't have to necessarily go out and buy a bunch of new ingredients if you have some leftovers laying around from a couple of previous brewing sessions. I stick by the recipe; it made an excellent beer, with no bacterial issues, off-tastes, or anything but yummy porter-ness to speak of. Relax! Sorry you didn’t approve.

I hope no beginning brewer actually tries making their own beer using these awful instructions. if they do they will be very dissapointed in the bad tasting, bacteria laden , non-beer that the above procedure will result in. the only good information on this page was to read a book about homebrewing. almost any book sold in the homebre store will give proper instructions that will contradict almost everything written here these are terrible brewing instructions.
