Title Home-brewing expert Gary Glass shares tips for beer newbies
Description Home-brewing expert Gary Glass shares tips for beer newbies Home brewing has grown from a niche hobby to a passion pursued by some 1.1 million beer lovers nationwide. It’s so popular, the national Brewers Association even has an amateur division, the American Homebrewers Association, which hosts events such as Big Brew Day on May 4 and Learn to Homebrew Day on Nov. 2 with hundreds of workshops across the country.brewing equipment manufacturer Gary Glass joined the home-brewing association in 2000 — and became its director in 2006 — but his days as a home brewer began in 1993, when he was a Cal Poly student in San Luis Obispo. One day, a friend of his roommate brought over a home-brewed strawberry wheat, Glass recalls, and his jaw dropped to the floor. He was already a fan of craft beer, but it had never occurred to him that you could make it yourself. He ordered his first home-brew kit that very week. Glass’ first batch, a hopped extract beer, didn’t turn out that well — and it didn’t help that his too-small pot kept boiling over. But his friends encouraged him to keep trying. So Glass started reading up on the topic and, more importantly, borrowed his mother’s lobster pot. An IPA from Charlie Papazian’s “The Joy of Homebrewing” was an early success, followed by a prize-winning pilsner and his favorite, a saison that he still brews regularly. I sat down with Glass recently to talk about home brewing, which he describes as “the only hobby where when you’re done, you get to have a beer that you made. You could be knitting and end up with socks, or you could be home brewing and end up with beer.” Why do you think home brewing is still popular? When we talk to home brewers about why they do it, there are two main reasons. (They enjoy) the scientific aspects of brewing, but more commonly, it’s the artistic expression. With home brewing, you’re able to create something that’s uniquely yours. Beer is a social beverage, which makes it really easy to share your art form, take (it) to a party and watch other people enjoy it. When somebody really likes something you’ve created, that’s a great feeling. How do you suggest a newbie start? One of the issues is an intimidation factor. So many people are brewing all-grain and have elaborate (home brewing) set-ups. So I think it’s important to keep things as simple as possible when getting started — with a kit and even an extract, at least for your first batch. Brewing with extracts eliminates the whole mashing process, (which) takes up time and can be fairly complicated. Get comfortable with the brewing process. Then you can add further layers of complexity.
