Homebrewing, Simple as Ruby
summary
Homebrewing steps, equipment, and numbers that actually matter: use mash at 140°F for grain conversion or skip to malt extract as a simpler route, boil roughly an hour, chill to 80°F before pitching yeast, and expect a 12 gal kettle to yield 12 gal boil → 10 gal beer after losses. Fuggle hops at 5.1% alpha for body, lager yeast needs ~50°F while ales ferment at room temp, sanitize with iodine, bottle condition with priming sugar, and a 5 gal batch can take 30 habaneros if desired.
