Take note of things that are unclear to you and ask about them later as you go to a home brewing store. 2. Go to the nearest home brewing store in your area Drop by to a local home brewing store where you can buy your home brewing supplies. You must also grab this opportunity to get acquainted with the storeowner and ask further details about home brewing. Let it boil for 5-10 minutes then take it off from the stove, dip the pot in a cooled water to cool the mixture faster. On this stage the mixture you just made is called wort (pronounced as wert) 4. While cooling the wort, sterilized (either, by pouring boiled water or using sanitizer) the fermentation pail, airlock, spoon and thermometer. Other than these choices, you can also consider the refrigerator conversion kits. These kits allow you to dispense the beer as you please without spending much on the units. All you have to do is to convert your existing refrigerator in order to become a beer system for home. The nice thing about this system is that this is easy to do, it is customizable and more importantly the refrigerator at home becomes multi-purpose. So you may have clinched the taste-winning formulation for your brew. So what needs to be done now? In order to take your hobby to the next level, then what you can do is to participate in trade shows and you can even join competitions. And if you are lucky, then a commercial bottler of beer may take notice and may even carry your brew nationally! And of course, drinking beer won't be as enjoyable without drinking it from the bottle (at least in my case). To avoid overspending, you can buy bottles and bottle caps in cases. Better yet, these bottles can be reused over and over again as long as you make it a point to re-sterilize each bottle after every use. Straining Tools Apart from the brewing funnel, an extra straining tool should also be used. This is a must for brewers who use grains in their solutions. Apart from this, a straining vessel called the lauter tun should also be available to strain out large particles from the boiled beer. Siphoning Tools Siphoning is a good alternative to straining as it limits the exposure to particles in the air while it's being transferred from one fermenter to another or to individual containers.
