Brewing can almost be considered a Generic term because it can be used in so many instances.

In our case, we will be using it to describe the process of producing drinkable liquids. 

Over the next few weeks I will describe, and show some basic techniques and tools used in brewing Beer, Wine and Homemade Sodas.

The Reinheitsgebot (listen), literally "purity order"), sometimes called the "German Beer Purity Law, is a regulation concerning the production of beer in the Holy Roman Empire and its successor state, Germany.

In the original text, the only ingredients that could be used in the production of beer were water, barley and hops.  Later on, once they realized yeast existed, yeast was added to the legal ingredients.

Base Materials:
Hot Water and Malted Barley

Sweet  Wort is made in the Mash Tun.

After the wort is made it is filtered and moved to the Copper.

 The Hops have their flavors extracted and this extract is also added to the Copper.

After the Wort and Hops have been 'boiled' for about 1-2 hours it is then run thru the Hopback to remove the hops and any sediments.

Next it goes thru a Chiller to bring it to the right temperature.

The now 'bittered' Wort is moved to theFermentation Tank and the Yeast is added.

It is allowed to run to finish.

After it is complete it can then be Bottled, Casked or Canned. (Yuck!)
