Wait another week after bubbling subsides to package the beer. This bubbling will continue for five days to one week and then will calm down. Store your fermenter somewhere dark, and about 65-70☏.Īfter a few hours you will notice bubbling in the airlock. Fill the airlock with a sanitizer and water solution and place it in the hole or bung depending on your fermenter.
"Pitch" the yeast by sprinkling it over the surface of the wort. Shake the fermenter or use a well sanitized spoon to stir the cool water and cool wort together, this will also help aerate the wort which helps the yeast ferment. Use the funnel to pour the cooled wort into the fermenter. Pour 3 gallons of cool water into the fermenter. (If using liquid yeast, read package instructions) Pour the contents of the yeast pack into about 1 cup room temperature water. Sanitize your clean fermentation vessel, funnel, and airlock (if they were not already clean, both clean and sanitize it) ensuring every surface that wort will touch has been sanitized. This sugar acts as food for the yeast in the beer which they turn into the CO2 we expect in beer! Yes, all those bubbles in your final brew are from a yeast snack. A small amount of sugar is added to the beer before it goes into individual bottles. In most cases homemade beer will go into bottles but it can also go into large bottles called growlers or kegs for serving on draft. While fermentation happens there is no action required by the brewer because yeast are doing all the work! The final step of brewing is packaging. The next step is fermentation, the time when special yeast bred to ferment wort converts sugar into carbon dioxide (CO2) and ethyl alcohol (ethanol) to make beer.
During wort making fermentable sugars from malt are combined with the flavor and antioxidant properties of hops. Wort making is the step that requires the most work from the brewer, as you make a perfect solution for brewer's yeast to turn into tasty beer. There are three major phases in the brewing process: wort making, fermentation, and packaging.
