well, im a rookie and just got interested, im going to buy all the equipment ASAP but i just couldn't stop myself from having a shot "makeshift style".
well first i seen it on a TV program Carrot Peeling and Parsnip peeling beer, so i researched some very simple methods of brewing. First of all i got a 2 Liter bottle (coca cola) and washed it out with boiling hot water. i then boiled up about 1 liter of water (i miss judged it) and put my carrot and parsnip peeling in. i boiled/simmered for about 15-20 minuets and sieved.
I then placed 1 cup of granulated sugar in and 1/4 of a teaspoon of bread yeast (at blood temperature) and attached a airlock to the top of the bottle. so i now have this concoction sitting around bubbling away, it seems to be fine (its on its 3rd day now) but its not really bubbling that much now. it smells just like a root beer or some sort of beer but what will it taste like, when can i taste it and how strong will it be ?
i know i have alot to learn :
