In order to brew beer, you must use the four most important ingredients:

• WATER
• BARLEY MALT
• HOPS
• YEAST

Each icon on the wallpaper actually represents one of these four elements. Today, let's try making a five gallon batch of India Pale Ale or "IPA". IPA's are known for their distinctively flural and bitter-like taste. Although the word bitter can usually be used in negative context this however is not the case. IPA's vary in tasting complexity and bitterness measuresed in IBUs or International Bittering Units. The higher the IBU's the more hoppy and floral the auroma is to the brew.

Below is a recipe list and to the right is a YouTube that goes over how to Brew using the All-Grain method. When watching this video, consider the equipment you will require for your brew. Additional information can be found in the FAQ Section of this site.

Good luck!
