DIY Home Brew: Brewers Best Mosaic India Pale Ale Made In Kitchen-Super ...

This was a small batch home brew that I made and it turned out fantastic. The taste test in the video was done on the last half bottle that I bottled. It was so good that I'm saving it for a special occasion. Kind of like a vintage wine that you keep on the shelf. As us home brewers know, the beer does get better the longer it sits in the bottle, to an extent. This one was a home run. It takes a solid month or so to make but it goes by quickly especially if you have other brews that you are making. You won't even notice and it'll be ready before you know it. The mosaic hops that came with this beer kit really set this off. The flavor had depth and was quite moving. I knew it was going to be good once I sampled it off the fermenter just before bottling. It only got better with age and a little more carbonation. So to get started I made a homemade fermenter out of a filtered water bottle and an airlock with bung. I had to cut out a larger hole in the top of the  water bottle in order to make this work. I pulled out all the contents of the Brewers Best Mosaic IPA beer kit. The nice thing about this is that it came with specific easy to follow directions on how to make it. You will need a food thermometer if you are going to make beers like this. They are readily available for cheap so go grab one. Temperature is important when making beer so you need to pay attention to it for favorable consistent results. This whole home brewing thing is a blast and saves you money as well if you like to partake of brews once in awhile. The process is simple, make the wort, add the fermentable, cool it down quickly, siphon into fermenter, add yeast and wait a couple weeks. After a couple weeks it's ready to bottle. When it's bottling time (I just use reusable plastic bottles) then add two carbonation drops to each one and twist the cap on tight then let sit for a minimum of two weeks. The results are outstanding as well as very rewarding.
