  1. Prepare the brewing equipment first. You need to fit spigot at the bottom of the drum meant for fermentation. Grommet needs to be fitted on the lid. Sanitize all the part of the equipment with bleaching powder.
  2. Take a portion of the wort concentrate, about 1 can or so, and put into a pot. Add boiling water to the concentrate.
  3. Add two liters of water in a large pot. Bring to a boil. Add the prepared mixture to the fermenting drum. Pour the warm wort concentrate into the fermenting drum. Add malt and sugar; stir well.
  4. Add water to the drum until you reach a volume of twenty liters liquid that is required for brewing.
  5. Stick the kitchen thermometer on one side of the fermenting drum with an adhesive. The ideal temperature of the drum should be between 22 and 28? C before the yeast is added.
  6. Now we shall begin the process of fermentation. Sprinkle yeast on the wort.
  7. Screw the fermenter tightly with a lid and use an airlock filled with water partially. The purpose of the airlock avoids carbon dioxide from escaping and stops the entry of bacteria as well as wild yeast. The fermenter is placed aside for a period of 5 to 7 days to ferment.
  8. Sterilize the bottles, caps as well as filler tube with sterilizing powder, or by heating them in a microwave, or by boiling them with water on the stove.
  9. Place the filler tube tightly on the spigot. Fill the beer in the tube but do not allow the beer to flow out from the bottom valve. Put the beer in a cup. Discard the remaining portion and material.
  10. Now you have to fill the sterilized bottles with the prepared beer. Prior to filling the bottles, just add a little sugar about one teaspoon in each bottle. The additional sugar will increase the amount of fizz in the beer. It is an essential component of the fermentation process.
  11. You must remember not to fill the bottles up to the brim. You must leave a gap of about half an inch in each bottle. Close the valve by lowering the bottle.
  12. Once you have filled the bottles, seal them tightly with sterilized bottle caps without wasting any time. You can also use a hammer and a hand capper to seal the bottles tightly. Store the bottles at a moderate temperature for eight weeks. The bottles must not be exposed to direct sunlight and should be placed upright.

After a period of eight weeks, the beer will be totally fermented and all gases will appear. This kind of beer does not come with an expiry date, and the longer it is stored, it will taste better.

Now that you have come to know an effective way of making beer, I am sure you will at least try one of these beer making video at your home.
