When You Control the Process the Result is Perfect Beer

Brewing beer using your beer home brewing kit, The Beer Machine, is easy and really pretty fool-proof. But that doesn’t mean you can't

use customization techniques before, during, and after brewing. 

You can tailor your homebrew to your own standards and taste. 

Phase One - Fermentation

Essentially, there are two phases of the brewing beer process.  The first is called the fermentation period, and starts as soon as you add the brewer's yeast and seal up your Beer Machine.  For three to five days, it’s best to leave your beer machine at about room temperature.  While the beer mix is in there and the brewers yeast is working its magic and fermenting, you should avoid adding any carbonation using the CO2 unit.  That could slow things up.

Natural carbonation in beer occurs in the next phase.

 Tip:  fermentation works best when your beer home brewing kit is kept between 65 and 72 degrees F.

Phase Two - Clarification and Conditioning

The second phase is the clarification and conditioning period that begins between days three and five.  At this point, the brewing beer phase should be complete and now you can move your Beer Machine, home brewing kit, into the fridge, as clarification happens more quickly there.  This phase takes 4 to 5 days while it absorbs the fermentation-produced natural carbonation fermentation absorbed and beer clarification takes place. 

Tip:  for natural carbonation beer clarifies more rapidly and absorbs CO2 more efficiently at cooler temps. From 36 to 38 degrees F. Cold temperature shuts down the fermentation and allows the beer to clarify.

You can affect the beer during the clarification process by adding CO2 to increase carbonation as the beer and your taste dictates.  You can also add carbonation AFTER the brewing beer process ( not before),  to increase or maintain effervescence. 

Tip: the red zone, indicating PSI’s of more than 15 should be avoided.

The Beer Machine is a Controlled Environment

Unlike other beer home brewing kits, The Beer Machine provides leeway when it comes to finishing your brew.  As you gain experience brewing a wide range of tasty beers, you’ll alter your strategies to truly make your beer your own . 

The Beer Machine process can be as simple, or as creative as you would like it to be. But having complete control over your beer brewing is just one of many advantages you enjoy as owner of a Beer Machine. It's simply the best way for brewing beer at home in a completely closed system.
