Extract Brewing – Quick beer to your tastes
Objectives
This unit will introduce more of the raw ingredients of beer: We’ll use malt extract, steeping grains, hops and brewer’s yeast to brew a beer. We will review the additional equipment required to brew a beer with extract and steeping grains instead of a kit beer. We will taste commercially available examples of the style we’ll be brewing.
By the end of this Unit, you will be able to:
- Describe the ingredients used to make an extract batch of beer including extract, steeping grains, and hops
- Interpret an extract homebrew recipe for use at home
- Shop for equipment required to make an extract batch
- Apply principles of cleaning and sanitation to extract equipment
