    1. Introduction

    Are you interested in making beer at home? If you are, then you are one of the many who do not just love to drink beer but also love to experiment in making different brews. When you make your own beer, you will be able to create it just the way you want it. Do you love the taste of high alcohol-type beers or do you prefer smooth and light beer? Regardless of your taste in the most popular alcoholic beverage in the world, you will absolutely enjoy making your own brew.

    Here are some of the most popular beer brewing recipes you can do at home. These recipes are based from the most appreciated and tastiest beers in the world. You may have tasted some of these brews and wondered how these were created; these recipes will show you how and possibly what’s great about these recipes is that you can do all these at home.

    2. The Red Ale

    Red ale is one of the most popular beer brews that you may have tasted. You can order red ale in most small pubs but what you don’t know is that this sweet and rich beer may be easily created at home. The red ale has been compared to the American pale ale and if you look at how this tasty brew has come to be, you will notice that the recipes are almost the same except for the striking red color. The secret to the red ale’s beautiful color is its ingredient: black malt. But when you brew this beer at home, you will need to take extra care not to overdo it since your brew may turn dark brown instead.

    The ideal combination for red ale is Cara Red malt, 60 L of Crystal and don’t forget just a pinch of black roasted barley. Hops may be added but these are usually for high alcohol red ale varieties. The ideal yeast to use is an American Ale strain with a liter of starter; choose between White Labs WLP001 or Wyeast 1056. The wonderful citrusy aroma comes from using an ounce of Amarillo hops however if you prefer a sweeter brew then reduce the amount of hops to ½. Cool 3 gallons of water, combine the CaraRed, roasted black barley malt and the Crystal 60 L in a mesh or a hop bag. Use a large 5 gallon pot to immerse the hop bag in the 3 gallon water. The hop bag must never touch the bottom of the container. Heat and then remove the bag when the temperature is 170˚. Bring the mixture to a boil and then add about 6 pounds of malt extract. Be careful in stirring so it will dissolve completely. Place the hops in a hop bag and then after 45 minutes of brisk boiling, submerge the hop bag. Allow this to boil for another 60 minutes then remove from heat. Allow the mixture to cool at a temperature below 180˚F (everything that touches the mixture from this point in time should be sterilized). Cool the mixture in an ice bath; when the temperature of the mixture has reached 85˚F transfer it in a fermentation bucket. Use a hydrometer to take gravity readings of your mixture (this reading should be around 1.050). You need to find this out so you can calculate the alcohol content after the mixture has fermented. Next, yeast is added when the mixture has cooled below 70˚. Agitate to activate the yeast. Cover the container with sanitized stopper or if you have an airlock system. Leave this to ferment in a dark place; make sure that you keep temperatures consistent (65 to 68˚ F). It will take about 3 weeks for fermentation to complete and after week 3, transfer to another container to condition the blend with an ounce of hops. Store the mixture in a cool and dry place. After 2 weeks, you may place these in bottles of our choice as long as the bottles are sterilised beforehand.

    3. The Dry Irish Stout

    Dark beers like dry Irish Stout leave a light and delectable finish on the tongue which will balance grilled steaks, fish and rich sweet deserts. Now you don’t need to go to your local pub to taste Dry Stout anymore, you can brew this at home as well. It will take you less than a week to brew your own Dry Stout but you will certainly say that it is worth the wait. The ingredients that you need are about 1 ½ pounds of flaked barley, 5 pounds of Maris Otter pale malt, about a pound of black roasted barley, a pack of dry English ale yeast (either use White Labs WLP007 or WLP1098) and 1 ¼ of Kent Goldings hops. You must use a large 7.5 gallon kettle, a large hops bag or mesh bag and your basic set up for brewing beer at home.

    Crush pale malt, flaked and roasted barley. Clean all the materials to be used. Place the mesh bag on the inside of the large kettle, fill this with about 2 ½ gallons of water and heat this to about 161˚F. Remove from heat when it has reached this ideal temperature. Place the grains together in the mesh bag; avoid clumping the grains together by stirring the grains. Monitor the temperature and maintain 150˚F. Cover and then stir occasionally. Heat another 3 gallons of water to 185˚F and then place this amount in the mixture and check temperature. It must be about 170˚F. Remove the mesh bag from the mixture but allow the remaining mixture to drain from the bag; completely remove the bag from the container after 15 minutes. Add water to this mixture to yield 6 gallons. Boil the mixture and at the first time bubbles appear, add the hops in a hop bag; allow this mixture to boil for about an hour and then remove from heat. Place the container in an ice bath to quickly reduce its temperature to below 70˚F. Afterwards, transfer the mixture in a suitable container to ferment (all equipment that is used from this step onwards will need to be sanitized first). Take your hydrometer and take a reading. Again you need this number to determine your brew’s alcohol content after it has finished fermenting. The initial gravity reading should be 1.040. Add yeast and agitate the mixture. Cover this with a stopper or an air lock system and keep in a cool and dry place with a temperature of 65 to 68˚F. It will take up to two to three weeks for your home brew Dry Irish Stout to complete.

    4. The American Wheat Ale

    Light beers like the American Wheat Ale is a crisp, tasty and citrusy making it one of the best beers to drink for summer. Brewing this ale takes patience and a keen sense of detail. You also need the following ingredients: 4 pounds of crushed malted wheat, 3 pounds of crushed Two-Row malt, 0.6 pounds of crushed Munch malt, an ounce of Magnum hops, ½ ounce of Sorachi Ace hops and a liter of American Ale yeast (you may choose either While Labs WLP051 or Wyeast 1272 will do). You will also need standard beer brewing equipment like a large 7.5 gallon container, a large mesh bag, hops bag, cooking or brewing thermometer, hydrometer and basic fermentation set-up.

    Place the mesh bag over the 7.5 gallon kettle and line the kettle interior. Fill this with 2.5 gallons of water and boil until the temperature is 165˚F. Place all the crushed grains inside the mesh bag; stir the grains to prevent these from forming large clumps. The temperature of the mixture should be consistent at 154˚F. Cover and then stir every 20 minutes. Heat 3 gallons of tap water to 185˚F. Uncover the mixture and then pour the 3-gallon water into the mix to increase the temperature to 170˚F. Remove the mesh bag out of the water but allow the mixture to drain from the bag for about 10 minutes and then remove the mesh bag. Add more hot water to yield 6 gallons and then bring the mixture to a brisk boil. When the first bubbles appear, add an ounce of Magnum hops in a hops bag. After boiling the mixture for 45 minutes, add ½ ounce Sorachi Ace hops in a bag. Finally, after the mixture has boiled for almost 55 minutes, add another ½ ounce of Sorachi Ace hops in a bag. Remove from heat after boiling for an hour (any brewing equipment that you will use from this step and beyond should be sanitized). Reduce the temperature quickly by placing the container in an ice bath. When the temperature has reached 70˚F or below, place this in a sanitized bucket or basic fermenting equipment. Use your hydrometer to get an initial gravity reading which will be useful in determining the alcohol content of your American Wheat Ale after it has finished fermenting. The reading should be at 1.043. Add yeast and then agitate the mixture; cover the container with a stopper and an air lock system. Place this in a cool, dark
