7. Worrying about your beer!

Ok, you’ve got the Seven Deadly Sins of Homebrewing, the better question is how to avoid each one?!? That’s easy, keep reading!

1. Make sure anything that will touch the beer after boil is over is free of dirt, grime and slime! And make sure that clean equipment has been sanitized before it touches any of your beer!

2. The yeast strain you chose will have a suggested fermentation temperature. Make sure you’re within that range, most ale yeasts can be fermented in the 60s to low 70s F, most houses have a room that fits the bill.

3. Often instructions that come with an ingredient kit are a bit lacking. Boil your beer for a full 60 minutes, add bittering hops at the beginning of the boil and then add finishing hops as directed.

4. Make sure your yeast is fresh, a couple months for liquid and no more than a year for dry.

5. Homebrewing should be fun and easy, what’s more easy than watching someone brew a batch and using a systematic checklist to help you on brew day?! The BeerEasy.com members section gives you these and MUCH MORE!

6. You’ll never want to bottle your beer before its ready. If you bottle too soon those bottles of beer may become beer grenades—dangerous and messy!

7. A new homebrewer will often worry about every little thing from brew day and even after the beer has been bottled. Most of the time, take a deep breath, a sip of your favorite beer and relax; brewing beer is easy and is VERY forgiving!

You’re armed with the essential information for how not to screw up that first batch! Now all you need to do is buy your equipment, an ingredient kit, and get a little how to brew training and you’re set! Good luck brewing your first batch!

Happy Brewing,
