Cleaning |
Brewing Tip:
If you boil on the stovetop, don't forget to clean the hood over the stove. Steam will rise from your brewpot and whatever grime is up under the hood will drip down into your wort. Probably doesn't hurt anything but it can look pretty nasty and it's something I've never seen mentioned in any brewing manuals.

Have fun |
Brewing Tip:
Have fun with your brew. If you are as clean as you can be, and dont mess anything up, you will be fine. If using a malt extract, try distilled water - works great. When you siphon from the fermenter, start from the middle of the batch and work your way to the bottom of the fermenter until you reach the grime, dont trust that the cane cap will do the trick, sometimes the grime can be thicker than the cap. Move the fermenter as LITTLE as possible to keep from stirring the grime up before bottling, kegging. Write down all the details of every brew so you dont miss out on that "Perfect One!" and as always HAVE FUN!

Read a Book!!! |
Brewing Tip:
Go out and buy every book on brewing that you can and READ them. I prefer the books by Charlie Papazian. He explains everything in simple terms and goes through levels of brewing from beginner and so on......

Water |
Brewing Tip:
hey for people who are new if you dont have a RO system go out and get the best water possible. think about this you went in and bout 150.00 dollar beer kit and most likely a beer kits or two or all grains to get you going. so why not spend a couple of more dollars and make sure you have great water and be clean and it will be a wonderful experiance also be clean and have fun and if you are making salted water to try and match that of a region use distilled water remember guys its all about having fun and you will have some that are better then others and the longer it sits the better it gets

Make it easy!!!! |
Brewing Tip:
Starting out brewing beer with kits is the best way to go. After your first or second batch, try expierementing with hops and partial mash with the kits. Then move onto partial mash using extract and grains.....Also...BUY a small fridge or freezer and a temp. controller...2 fridges if you got the room. One for a 5 gal. keg&tap system (AKA-Kegorator) and one for temp. control fermenting (especially if you want to lager beer). AND STAY CLEAN!!!!!! The guys at HBHQ will be very helpful, so ask questions.

Choosing the right water |
Brewing Tip:
If you are buying gallon jugs from the grocery store for your source water try the new clear plastic gallons by Ozarka. These bottles are made of PET (poly ethylene terephthalate), which do not transfer a plastic taste. Normal gallon jugs (milk jugs) are made of HDPE (high density polyetylene), which do transfer a plastic taste. I try to keep the cleanest taste possible.
