Beer making is not a new concept at all; in fact the origins of beer brewing can be traced back an incredibly long time to around 6,000 B.C. During that time in Egypt they prayed to the goddess Ninkansi to ensure good brewing. Today beer brewing is universal and the bulk of all beer is brewed in huge breweries that resemble factories or in microbreweries that can be found in taverns and bars. Recently people have realized they can make beer at home and have become enthusiastic about it. All you need is the proper beer brewing equipment and you are well on your way. This has led to a renewed interest in the ancient art of beer brewing. Moreover, to a new industry in home beer brewing equipment that is thriving.

Although it is possible to use many standard items found in homes as beer brewing equipment there are specific items that it is definitely worth getting if you want to ensure a good beer brew. An important part of the beer making process is to filter the sugar from the gains. You can use a sparge bag, but the best is to use a sparge tun. If sparging is not done properly, you can end up having rather bitter beer. So investing in a sparge tun is important. Having a wort chiller is not a necessity; it is possible to make your own with copper tubing. But, buying a wort chiller as part of your beer brewing equipment can save you a lot of time as it works fast.
To make beer at home you need a fermenter. Usually glass carboys are used for this and a fermenter is a non negotiable item of your beer brewing equipment, so it’s wise to invest in a good one of roughly a 5 gallon size. You cannot make beer without a brew kettle and a burner. This is essential and you must have a beer kettle that can withstand temperature changes. The norm is a stainless steel beer kettle that resembles a rather large stainless steel pot.
There is a rather long list of items that most brewers feel should be included in basic beer brewing equipment. Many people opt to get a complete kit to ensure that they have everything that is fundamental in successful beer brewing at home. In this way they have all the essentials and can take their time deciding if they want to buy additional beer brewing supplies.
