People homebrew for a variety of reasons. Homebrewed beer can be cheaper than commercially equivalent brews; however most home brewers customize their recipes to their own tastes, which tends to be more expensive. For instance, hopheads, or fans of beer with prominent hop flavors, can hop their beer far beyond what would normally be considered excessive. Dark beer enthusiasts can create beers, such as Russian Imperial Stout or Porter, that are the antithesis of the paler style that is commercially dominant, particularly in the US. Moreover, home brewers have complete control over the amount of alcohol produced, allowing for the production of beers containing very low or very high amounts of alcohol.

Ingredients for a basic homebrew include dry malt extract, hops and the ingredients of a brewing kit. Other recipes include honey, gypsum or brown sugar. The basic equipment needed to homebrew includes many household items: a stove, water, spoon, can opener, measuring cup, spoon and bowl. Then there are the specialty items you will need, including a fermenter, air lock and transfer tubing. The fermenter is generally a plastic tub with a lid; the lid contains a small hole for an air lock, which allows carbon dioxide to escape.

The transfer or racking tubing transfers the homebrew from one container to another and is used for bottling. Look for tubing that has a rigid tube attached to one end. An open topped plastic bucket, a bottling or racking bucket, is used to transfer beer from the fermenter into the bottles. You will also need a thermometer to measure the temperature prior to adding the yeast. The sterilizing agent can be bleach or something special you purchase from a homebrew shop. Obviously, you will need bottles for your homebrew; for a 5-gallon (19-liter) batch, you will need three cases of new or clean recycled bottles. Use a bottle capper to attach the cap to the bottles. A bottle cleaning brush will also come in handy.

Additional equipment that makes the homebrew process easier includes a hydrometer, glass carboy, funnel and grain bag. The hydrometer measures the density prior to fermentation, which allows you to determine alcohol content. If you use a glass carboy instead of the plastic jug fermenter, you will also want a cap, handle and funnel. The glass carboy is easier to sanitize because it doesn’t scratch. A grain or hop bag makes the job of adding grains to the recipe easier, although a strainer can serve the same purpose.
