Make Your Own Homebrew

By Elmer Richardson


There are many who love to make their home made organic beer for better health or due to environmental factors. However, there is a very limited availability of organic beer and ingredients. Homebrew wort filtering can be done with the help of organic malt and hops, then the quality is definitely the best. The process of brewing beer at home usually begins with the mashing process but you can also buy the liquid malt extract from the shop. This is available in the form of canned syrups and one has to only add water to it. If the syrup is at the hopped wort stage, then there is no need to boil it, but otherwise, the boiling and flavoring has to be done.

Once the boiling of the wort is over, the hopped wort undergoes what is known as homebrew wort filtering. When hops and other additives are put into the homebrew, certain sediments and dense solids are produced and these have to be removed.

If you use fresh hops then the homebrew wort filtering can be done by passing the wort through a hop back which is just a small vat. This is a kind of vessel which is just a restricted space which is filled with fresh hops. This acts as a natural filter and helps to remove the larger particles and solids in the homebrew. Additionally, the process also helps to add aroma and flavor to the wort, as this is sometimes lost in the process of boiling.

The hop back process may not be very fruitful for removal the particles if you have used hop pellets prior to the homebrew filtering process. You can make use of a whirlpool tank for homebrew filtering. This produces a centrifugal force and a central cone shape is formed which is very easy to remove in the process of homebrew wort filtering.

You then need to reduce the temperature of the wort to about 20 to 26 degrees centigrade after finishing the homebrew wort filtering. Then the wort is poured into another vessel, and you can proceed to the next step of home brewing which involves fermentation.
