If you are a newbie and still want to
learn how to brew beer of your own choice, then there are many good
beer-brewing kits that can be quite handy to brew a quality beer at home.
Despite of you not having adequate skills, you can still get started.

If
you are beginner, start with brewing simple and easy beers. Many people advise
the beginners to stay away from lagers and sour beers as they can be fussier
and require more equipment compared to brewing other beers. Pick a style that
can be done with extract, hops and yeasts, as they are easy to brew, taste
better, and condition quickly.

Simple
beers have bitter component and take less time than those, which have flavoring
and aroma hops. Start with something with an OG of 1.070 or less as having a
high gravity will make the whole process easier for the beginners. Use dry
yeast and do a malt extract beer with some grains. Do not start with a mini
mash or all grains.

Let us take a look at the various types
of beer and also some beginner beers to brew at home.

First in the list of good beers is Ales

The best part of ales is that when it is brewed it does not convert much of the
sugars into alcohol, which gives it a sweeter and fruitier taste. For beginners
brewing True Brew Pale Ale and Brewers Best Ale are recommended, as they are much
easier to brew compared to other lines of Ales beer. You can add different
flavors to it such as mint, citrus etc. This is a very cheap beer to brew.

The second choice can be Lagers

Most of the lagers have a crisp taste and can range from very light to very
dark as per the brewing process. This beer goes well with spicy, Indian and
Mexican foods.

The stouts are third in place

Stouts are very dark full-bodied type of beer and have a flavor very similar to
the coffee. They can be brewed in other flavors like sweet, bitter, milk, and
even oatmeal. Chocolate Stout is a safe beer to brew by the beginners. It is
very smooth, chocolaty and taste very good among the other beers in the same
category.

Fourth in the list are porters

These are very strong and delicious type of beer. This beer is dark, strong and
has bitter hops flavor with a hint of chocolate.

The fifth beer in sequence is Pilsners

This beer has a golden color and is clear. This does not have a thick body and
is soft and easy to drink. Having hoppy full flavors they are generally more
preferred than general lagers.
