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. But then again, the choice will depend on the budget and the needs. 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. For starters, you can start with home brewing equipments that can cost around $90. The set can include the most basic equipments. And for the ingredients, prepare to shell out around $50 for the first batch of brew. The cost for ingredients may shoot up depending on the kind and the quality of beer that you would like to brew. All you need are a good bottlebrush and a sterilizing agent (don't forget to check the expiration date though). If a sterilizing agent is nowhere to be found, plain household bleach should be sufficient enough to do the job. The initial expenses might be considerable at first, but once you have brewed large amounts of beer long enough, you'll eventually notice the costs of home brewing is much less than the costs of buying beer from the store. Did you know that around 4 to 6 liters of water is needed in order to produce just one liter of beer? This is how water-intensive the beer production is. This is not only the use of water in many breweries. Do expect water to be used in other production processes, for example water is also used in the mashing, the filtration and even the packaging of bottles of beer. This kind of characterization for the beer can be achieved by effectively raising the gravity of the beer yet without sacrificing the fermentation process. The beer can also be enhanced by simply adding more sugar or by adding up some more protein. Now this kind of characterization for beer is important, and this is what you should aim for if you would like to try your hands as well in home brewing.
