Creating Flavored Home Brew Beer

Image by toddross via FlickrWhile you walk down the beer isle in the food market how many different choices are there? A dozen? Two dozen? My bet is you can even find more than this in the ordinary grocery and even more in liquor stores. So why would you keep to precisely the same flavor with your home brew beer? One of the primary aspects of setting up a home brewery is you can make your own unique flavors that you will never find at the store.
 Depending on your special individual tastes it is possible to create numerous variations that will be yours and yours alone. If you choose to, you can include special flavors for instance cherry, caramel, or smoked flavors just by adding various items at the proper time throughout the brewing process.
 Personally, among the top flavors I quite like in the home brew beer process is a "Cherry Wheat". To obtain the particular cherry wheat flavor into your beer, you include a type of cherry extract within the mix. Subject to what quantity of beer I will be brewing, I prefer about four oz. of cherry extract to six and half pounds of wheat.
Also, for people who want a different type of experience, by using the same home brewing procedures as beer you can also make cider. The method to make cider uses the same equipment as brewing beer that will be very tasty when done properly. Also, with cider, you can contribute a number of flavors for example , cranberries to create a unique flavor.
 Don't believe that you will be stuck with fruit type flavors with home brew beer. Even a quick look at the online beer sites will show how many different flavors are possible. With only a little experience you will easily be able to produce pilsners, ale's, lagers, stouts, brown ale's and many types of kinds of creative and unique flavors. Right here is the primary benefit for home brew beer; getting precisely the flavor you wish every time. And all of this features a quality that is unrivaled in the store brands.

There is a very good short article about the differences between Lagers and Ales here and another discussing how long home brewed beer needs to age is here.
