Brewing County Style Beer

For breweries, drinking country-style beer (sometimes also called hemp wine) is the easiest way to make your first beer. However, people have been making basic beer in this way for hundreds of years, and sometimes surprisingly, good results can be obtained.

What's even better is that you don't have to go out and buy a lot of complicated and expensive stuff. All you need is a glass, bottles that can either be safely corked or have flip tops, a little yeast, some toast, and a big pot.

Indigenous beers are usually made with water, a flavoring agent, sugar, and yeast. The flavoring agent is usually extracted from wild (this is why this type of beer is called 'Hegro beer'), and common ingredients include dandelion tips, salsa, elderberry, elderflower, sea buckthorn berry, dandelion, and Burdock roots included. Wild strawberries, rose hips, and more. In essence, anything can be used to dissolve water with a pleasant taste.

Once you have infused, you will add tartaric acid as an acidifier (or add oranges and lemons to the injection), and you will add 1l or about 500 grams of sugar to the liquid. Then it is a matter of allowing everything to cool to body temperature before adding the yeast. An excellent example of this type of beer is pure beer, the recipe for which is given below.

Nettle beer

2l nettle top

4l water

Three oranges, cut into layers (with peels)

Three lemons, cut into pieces (with peel)

900 grams of sugar cubes

Combine nutmeg tops, water, oranges, and Lemongrass beer in a large pan. Bring to a boil and cook for 40 minutes. Turn off the heat and strain through a muslin bag.

Return the liquid to a pan, bring it back to a boil and boil for 30 minutes before adding sugar. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then turn off the heat. Pour into a bailing bucket and allow the blood to cool. Spread a piece of toast with 15 grams of yeast and float it on the surface of the liquid. Allow to boil for three days, then rack in bottles (flip-top bottles are best). Securely hold the bottles, then lie down in a cool place. The beer will be ready to drink in 2 months.

In addition to using toast spread with yeast, you can also use rye bread (naturally fermented), or you can buy beer maker yeast and spread it directly on top of the sugary liquid.

The recipe above gives you a basic (and traditional) way to make this type of beer. Just change the recipe for what you want to make, and in two months, you will be drinking your home's shiny alley.
