BUILD YOUR PERFECT BREW

CREATE YOUR RECIPE

From the light and hoppy, to the dark and roasty and everywhere in between. Build your own unique recipe based on your personal preferences. Measure and mill your grains, select and measure out the hops and prepare your yeast. Every great beer starts with a great recipe.

THE MASH

Mashing is the brewer’s term for the hot water steeping process which hydrates the barley, activates the malt enzymes, and converts the grain starches into fermentable sugars. There are several key enzyme groups that take part in the conversion of the grain starches to sugars. Malt sugars from the mash are what fuel the yeast cells during fermentation.

THE BOIL

After mashing, you then separate the sugary liquid (or wort) from the grains and collect it in the “boil kettle”. During the boil is when the hops are added to extract bitterness, hop flavor and hop aroma. Boiling also sterilizes the wort by removing unwanted bacteria. After the boil is complete, the wort is then cooled so that the yeast may be added.

FERMENTING

After the wort is cooled and aerated, yeast is added to it and it begins to ferment. It is during this stage that sugars extracted from the malt are converted into alcohol and carbon dioxide, and the product can be called beer for the first time. fermentation can take as little as a week, or up to a few months depending on the beer style. After fermentation is complete, the beer is then ready to be bottled or kegged.

BOTTLING

After fermentation is complete, it is time to bottle. During this process some extra sugar is added to the beer. Once bottled, the residual yeast left in the beer will start to eat the extra sugar that was added. This creates a secondary fermentation in the bottle that makes CO2. Being capped, the CO2 has nowhere to go and dissolves into the beer. This is called “bottle conditioning”.

A delicious beer brewed by the sweat of your own brow.

Drink and Enjoy. You’ve earned it.
