Hi siambrew

It would be fair to say you’ve bitten off one of the hardest subjects to understand in the world of home-brewing but one that can make a huge difference to the final taste of your beers!!!

First you need to make sure you have cleaning and sanitation down pat!! this has to be at 110% or you’re just spinning your wheels.

Dont try and understand it all at once! unless you’re a chemist, its an interesting subject but can leave you with a headache, my mates a chemist and a brewer his beer is fabulous. In my world 1+1=2 not in his…

Get a home-brew and watch this vid, JP is the godfather of home-brewing



his book is here

Now I bet your confused haha, simpler resources follow

The first link I sent you is from Martin Brungard, he’s a top bloke and expert in his field Its worth paying for his upgraded program when you get serious, he posts on here occasionally


Good Luck…
 
Cheers for all the information mate it's helped alot over the last 4 or 5 brews. think I'm just about on top of it now my beers are coming out better than ever [emoji108][emoji108]
