Beer Expeditions

 What you will need 1. A good recipe.

2. ingredients  we go over that in part one.

3. cooking equipment, a spoon preferably metal or plastic not wood, a thermometer, a strainer or grain bag or cheese cloth,and a few pots the bigger the better.  

4. sanitizer preferably something maid for brewing like something from Five Star ,in my opinion they make the best stuff. We will go other sanitization more next time.

5. a carboy seen in the picture above. All it is a glass, plastic, metal or wood, air tight container. Home use is normally 5 or 6 gallons.

6. an airlock or fermentation lock .

7. syphon hose and a racking cane. I will go over that when we talk about racking and bottling.

8. bottles, bottle caps and a capper. These are not needed if you are going to use a keg, but in that case you need a keg instead.

 

This is just a basic bare bones list. There is more equipment out there. You should be able to get the job done with the stuff on this list . I might go over some other equipment it the future. most of it is designed to make the job easer or to save time.

Next time I will go over the importance of sanitation and maybe get into the beginning process of making beer.
