Equipment For Home Brewing Amber Beer

Video Transcript

Hi, I'm Mark on behalf of Expert Village. In this segment, we are going to talk about the equipment you are going to need to brew. First, we are going to start with the most basic equipment that you need that should be around in your house already. You are going to need a large pot, up to five gallons is good, but bigger than two gallons is definitely recommended. The larger pot you are going to get, the lower your chances of having a boil-over. Next you are going to need some sort of a spoon, okay, to stir up your mash. You can do plastic, you can do wood; but if you are going to do wood, just make sure you don't leave it in your brew. It can also be metal, obviously. And finally, you should have some sort of measuring cup for doing some different measuring. Now we are going to talk about the equipment that you are going to need to purchase from your brewing supply store. First, you are going to need a fermenter. This is the most basic one that you can get which is a seven gallon bucket with a lid that fits nice and tightly. Now on that lid there's going to be a hole that's drilled in it. You are going to need a stopper (a rubber stopper) that will fit in that hole and an airlock for going in that stopper. You are also going to need a bottling bucket which is roughly the same thing except that it has a spigot at the bottom. You are going to need to get roughly sixty bottles if they are twelve-ounce bottles or forty sixteen-ounce bottles to bottle your beer in. You're going to need to focus...they are going to need to be pop-off tops, not screw-off tops. You are also going to need to purchase some bottle caps and a bottle capper. You are also going to need to pick up a muslin sack or several of these depending on how many hop additions you are going to have and the grains that you are going to use. You are going to need some sort of a sterilizer and sanitizer- and we'll talk more about this later. Along with your bottling bucket, you are going to need a bottle filler. This can also be used to take samples from your beer. You're going to need a notebook to write down your recipes and different measurements that you take during the process. You're going to need a racking cane and as well as about six feet of hose as well to do your siphoning operations. A most basic package can run about fifty bucks. If you are willing to spend a little more, they may be up to a hundred bucks and next we are going to talk about some of the equipment you can spend a little more money on.
