Top 10 Beer Instructional Sites

Below I have listed my Top 10 Home Brew Beer Guides. There are plenty of sites on the web but you may find that some become too technical or others are just hard to follow. Below is my selection...



1. Jim's Beer Kit


www.jimsbeerkit.co.uk/



Jims Beer Kit is a site that is packed full of information and written by one of the great homebrew enthusiasts. A great source for home brewing technique and practise and also includes one od the best user forums on the net.


2. Go Make Beer


gomakebeer.com/


Go Make Beer is an easy to read step by step guide to all the processes of making beer - from using starter kits to all grain brewing. Full of useful tips and information and never over complex. Great starter site for home brew newbies.



3. Beer In The Making


www.beerinthemaking.co.uk/how-to-brew-beer.php



This is a great concise instructional on making your own beers and ales using the pre-bought beer kits - the ones where the ingredients are pre-prepared so there is no boiling or mashing needed. Great for beginners as it is so easy to do.


4. 2 B A Snob


www.2basnob.com/homebrewing-instructions.html


An odd URL but good step by step guide on the basics of brewing beer. The idea of the main site is to 'become a snob' on a particular subject - quite a fun read.


5. YoBrew


www.yobrew.co.uk


Superb site for those wishing to design their own beers. Great resource of home brew information for both wine making and beer/cider making. Quite large pages to work through but definately worth the effort.


6. John Palmer's How To Brew


www.howtobrew.com/


John Palmer is a great writer. His website is basically a free edition of his first home brew book 'How To Brew' in it's entirety. The book itself is now onto it's 3rd Edition and is available at all good home brew shops and book shops. He goes into great detail about all processes of home brewing and is probably more beneficial for people who have at least started brewing and have a vague familiarity of the brewing processes. Basically you are legitametly getting a great book for free.


7.Home Brew Zone


www.homebrewzone.com


Simple guide to starting homebrew. Useful check list style. Great for the beginner to get an insight into what is required to make beer.


8. ehow Videos on Home Brewing


www.ehow.com


This site contains some useful videos to your home brew arsenal. There are quite a number of videos in the Home Brew Category offering a wide variety of tips on all the processes of home brewing.


9. Instructables


http://www.instructables.com/id/Make-Beer


Instructables is a great site for learning how to do virtually anything. The beer making section is relatively good for beginners and all the instruction guides are down-loadable and printable via PDF.
