At some point in germination, barley’s nutrients are made into sugars. The malted barley is now ready to be made into beer. Hops are another ingredient utilized in beer. They supply the bitter flavor frequently associated with beer. Yeast is a single-celled microorganism. There are a couple of classifications of yeast used in beer making. Ale yeast floats near the surface of the beer during fermentation, so it is termed top fermenting. Conversely, lager yeasts are bottom fermenting, and normally ferment more slowly. They normally ferment at approximately 50 degrees F (10 degrees C). Hops, yeast and barley are the three core ingredients that you’re going to have to purchase if you’re intending to brew beer at home.

Ale yeast is said to be ‘top-fermenting’ since the yeast cells tend to accumulate (’flocculate’) at the top. Lager yeast migrates to the bottom of the tank during fermentation and so is called ‘bottom-fermenting’. In the case of ale yeast, some interaction with oxygen takes place during fermentation. Ale yeast ferments quicker, a few days to two. Temperature ranges vary, though, and can easily be in the higher range. Many ale yeasts have a full-bodied, fruity aroma and taste. Wheat beer yeast goes into this ale-style brew, where it helps produce a fruity, intense character.

With the mashing process of malted grain completed, certain duties have been relieved in order to continue the beer brewing process. It is at this stage commonly that the amateur home brewer can enter the process of beer brewing with readily available liquid malt extract in a can. Whether the raw ingredients of barley grain are more difficult to come by, or the brewer wishes to bypass the elementary level of mashing, these canned syrups which just require the addition of water can certainly make the whole brewing process more convenient to the average consumer brewer.
Brewing beer has its basic fundamentals, although they are not entirely a set of rules which must be adhered to precisely. Manipulating each part of the brewing process can result in various outcomes, and in changing these, a brewer can determine the characteristics desired in the brew.
