Those of you who are new to home brewing and wine making can buy everything you need from scratch, but it’s much easier to get a home brew and wine kit that provide all the equipment, instructions, and ingredients to get started with home brewing and wine making right away.

The Basic home brew and wine kits

A basic home beer brewing kit will include the following:

• A brew keg fermenter, usually made of lightweight, shatter-resistant food grade polyvinyl chloride. The standard size is sufficient to brew two gallons of beer at a time.
• A lid and tap assembly set for the brew keg fermenter.
• A premium quality “brew pack” that takes the guesswork out of brewing beer at home. These premixed brew packs contains all the yeast, beer mix, and sanitizer you’ll need to make your beer. Changing the kind and quantity of these ingredients changes the color and taste of the beer you brew.
• Lightweight, reusable bottles and bottle caps. Many home brewers recycle carbonated soda beverage bottles to use in addition to the bottles that come in these kits for bottling their home brewed beer.
• Self-adhesive labels for your beer bottles, to give them an authentically brewed look. Eventually you might want to create your own house label, and put your own label on the bottles of beer that you brew yourself at home.
• Finally, no home beer brewing kit is complete without a set of handy utensils. You don’t want to have to use your baking accessories for beer brewing. Your home beer brewing kit should include measuring spoons, funnels, a hop scale, and a sugar measure.

Your basic home wine making kit should include at least the following equipment:

• One glass carboy, for fermenting the liquid.
• A fermenting bucket, drilled for a spigot.
• Bottle filler and tubing.
• A siphon tube.
• A small drilled stopper.
• A thermometer.
• An airlock.
• A sanitizer.

San Francisco Home Brewing: The Best Place to Get Started

February 11th, 2008    Subscribe To Our Feed

Home brewing in San Francisco is relatively easy to start up. In a city that prioritizes organic produce and making things from scratch, San Francisco is perfect to start home brewing. Home brewing is a fantastic craft to start with if you love beer and drink beer regularly. If you start to brew your own beer you will save money, and you can make the beer to your preferences. Brewing your own beer is also a great way to relax and be creative, it is fun and enjoyable to do. Specially when you want to forget, the sometimes, hectic life in the city.

Supplies are not hard to find
In San Francisco there are several specialty shops that offer all these things in one place. Take a look around your area and see where there is a store specializing in home brewing. Check out the prices and see if you like the feel of the place. Some stores offer classes and will walk you through the whole process before you start. The first thing you need is equipment and ingredients.

What you need:
- special buckets
- grains
- yeasts
- starter home brewing kit (if necessary)
- someone who knows what they are doing to turn to for advice.

These things are easily found when you start home brewing in San Francisco.

If you are not confident with starting from scratch with a recipe you can also purchase a starter home brewing kit. This kit will contain all the ingredients you would need for a few gallons worth of beer. Although there is plenty of equipment that you can buy later when you really get serious about home brewing in San Francisco you should start with a simple starter kit. There are also all plastic kits and all glass kits and even kits that are half glass and half plastic. An all-plastic kit is of course cheaper than an all glass kit while a half glass; half plastic kit lies in between.

The recommended kit for beginners is the half glass half plastic kit. Try this out and decided if you would like to brew beer on your own before going for the all glass kit. This way you can have a few trial runs and see if you are serious about home brewing in San Francisco. Later on if and when you really get serious about home brewing in San Francisco (and you will…) then you can buy more equipment that will produce more beer than your average starter kit.
