What is beer making kits and what is the process
Beer drinkers have a somewhat limited selection of beers from which to choose at most stores. Over the years the mass marketing of American light beers and their popularity among people who don't know good beer from bad, has resulted in these light beers taking up the vast majority of shelf space in stores that sell beer. Better beers (microbrews and certain imports) can be found in some stores, but usually at high prices.
True beer lovers have another choice: brewing beer at home. Homebrewing is a popular hobby, and its enthusiasts use many types of equipment, largely decided by the quantities of output desired, and the amount of time and energy available to devote to the hobby. Fortunately for the novice homebrewer, simple and inexpensive beer making kits are available in specialty brewing stores and from online vendors.
The most basic process is simple to follow and produces excellent beers. In terms of equipment, the beer hobbiest can get started with a brewing vat (called a brew tun) with an airlock hole on in the lid, air lock, syphon hose, bottle caps, and a hand operated bottle capper. The vat is usually food grade plastic, with a capacity of 7-8 gallons, of which 5 gallons is used for brewing and the remainder is airspace. (This is the most common size.) All this equipment is quite inexpensive and available online.
The only other equipment required is bottles. Only RETURNABLE bottles should be used, as the homebrewing process produces pressures inside the bottle - enough pressure to burst a returnable bottle, which is designed to be used only once. Your homebrewing bottles will be used repeatedly.

In homebrewing, the term "kit" generally refers to a can of concentrated malt extract and a package of yeast. The method of brewing consists of simply adding water and corn sugar to the canned malt extract in a large boiling pot (a gallon and a half for example, bringing the mixture to a slow boil while stirring, then pouring the mixture into the brewing vat. Then more water is added and the mixture is allowed to cool. When the mixture reduces to room temperature, the yeast is added.
After the yeast is added, the container is sealed and the air lock set up. Soon, the mixture begins to ferment, a process that usually takes from several days to a week. When the beer is ready, it is siphoned into sterilized bottles for aging for a short period.
Further tips on the brewing process are easy to find. Homebrewing can be a rewarding hobby, allowing the beer drinker to brew an incredible variety of beer styles at surprisingly low cost.
