Ah, the secret ingredient. Bush tucker?1 kg extra light male exract in powder form
It also taste's better as you made it yourself...I used to make my own pilsner ( this is why I look like my avatar ), I made a job lot once, it flopped... not giving up I re-fermented the same brew....it flopped... tried once more....damm, I gave up... (Remember adding more yeast and sugar each time)... I forgot it was at the back of the garage for over two years....My god!!! when we discovered it, it was like rocket fuel... My brother was p*****d after half a bottle.... Never brewed a drop since.
OK, I have a question. I read some of the threads, and there is way too much jargon. For example, I don't have any idea what "beer concentrate" is. So anyway, here's my question: around here, they make "distiller's beer" with only 4 ingredients: water, corn, malt and wheat or rye. So, it is possible to make palatable beer with ingredients found my my local farmer's market? Do I have to use those pre-make "kits"? How do I find more information on making beer from just regular farm products? Thanks!
Me thinks part of the problem is the terms used across the pond and here in the US. I figure that beer was being brewed long before anyone was marketing kits. The last brew I made was about 30 years ago and we used off the shelf ingredients from the super market as I recall. Not a great brew but not bad either. As to commercial brew? I like Stella Artois and a few local micro brewery brews.
