Ranking of the best homebreweries of 2022

Beer is the favorite drink of many men and even women. From the variety of products available on the market, it is difficult to decide on preferences. Now it is possible to personally control the cooking process and create a foamy liquid at home to your liking. Here are the best homebrew breweries in 2022.

General information: breweries and their features

Consider what a home brewery is. What features does it have and why is it so popular among the population.

Design: appearance, assembly

A small barrel with a neck and a lid, inside which the ingredients are laid, and then everything is filled with water. The lid has a safety valve that acts as a threshold so that the foam does not come out during the fermentation process. To saturate the beer with carbon dioxide, if necessary, a carbonization unit or a siphon located in front of the device helps. The pouring of beer is carried out using a tap, so the whole design of a home brewery resembles a samovar.

The purer the water, the better the taste of the beer at the outlet. Piped water should not be used.

Features of the brewery: the pros and cons of the design

The table shows the arguments why it is worth buying a beer installation and preparing it yourself.

Criteria for choosing home breweries

What to look for when buying a home brewing unit? Some of the main requirements include:

• Purpose - for what purpose the structure is acquired;
• Type of beer;
• Device material;
• Cooking process.

For personal use, small breweries of 10-20 liters are enough.For lovers of large friendly gatherings and those who wish to engage in entrepreneurial activities, there are designs with a capacity of up to 155 liters.

The taste qualities of the beer drink depend on the types of ingredients used. More modernized designs allow you to prepare several options: low-alcohol, hoppy and various variations with taste and color, which allows you to experiment and make your own brand of beer. For those who prefer a certain type of drink, simple equipment with a narrow specialization is enough.

The main material for the structures is plastic and stainless steel. Budget models are made of plastic. They differ in color and shape, are light enough, but not as practical as steel ones. The second option is expensive units, durable and reliable. They can be equipped with automatic or manual control type. For plastic types of breweries, only manual operation is suitable.

Appliances: A Role in Home Breweries

Many designs are equipped with many additional features and accessories to help speed up the process of making homemade beer. What is the purpose of this or that device?

A fermenter is a vessel in which the must is fermented. Its volume depends on the amount of extract used, which comes with the kit. The container can be glass, plastic or steel. The most commonly used volume is from 19 liters (with a margin). The device is located in the lower part of the brewery near the drain tap and a slot for a water seal in the lid.

A water seal is a water lock that removes carbon dioxide from enzymes.

A thermometer is a device for monitoring the temperature of fermentation.

Hydrometer - helps to measure the density of the wort, determines the strength of the beer drink.

Conclusion

The rating was made up of the best home breweries for the current year. The entire model range was divided into three main categories:

• Choice of buyers;
• steel breweries;
• Constructions with wort.

According to buyers, plastic constructions have become the best breweries for the home. They do not have any additional devices, are easy to operate and are cheap. Many of the presented units are outdated models that are still popular among the population.

Description of steel units: all models are sold with a built-in pressure gauge. They have a large tank and produce a large number of different types of beer. The set includes glass bottles where you can pour the finished drink. Special lids fit tightly to the mouth of the container, which allows you to preserve the taste and freshness of the drink. The unit can be completely autonomous with the function of measuring density, temperature, timer and other devices.

The popularity of wort models lies in the preparation of high-quality hoppy beer, but for less money and in smaller volumes than in steel structures.
