I would break down brewing beer into 9 steps. Doing these steps takes a total of about 3 to 5 weeks and the finished product is a delicious beer that you can take pride in. Although it may seem hard, the brewing process is actually quite simple after you have done it a couple times. It is a lot like cooking but with precise instructions; waiting too long on one step could be the determining factor on whether or not your beer will succeed. Bottling is an essential part of the brewing process. After bottling your beer needs to sit for at least of week to finish reacting with the yeast and create carbonation. The most used bottling is done with capped glass bottles, but there are other options. Each option has its own benefits. Understanding these benefits will help you choose the type of bottling that is best for you.
