What's wort?

What's wort?

Wort is what you call beer before it has been fermented and before it is actually beer. It is the sugar-laden liquid you get from the beer-making process. You add yeast to wort and once it's done fermenting, the end product is beer.

Sounds like a very easy process in kit form. Basically foolproof.

Mmm, maybe I'll give this a try.

It is. It's not fool proof though, infection is always a concern. But it sure is easier that mashing and boiling your own wort.

I'm not sure if Toxxyc is on this forum, he's on a couple other local forums, he also sold wort, maybe he still does. His website is lazyhunter.co.za.

These are actually a decent deal compared to cans. Less effort and costs about the same. Example, a Coopers can is R350 and 1kg of sugar is R100, so R450 total.

Edit: Shipping of R172 kills it though.

Solved that by ordering two. Same delivery charge.

This sounds interesting.

Got two of the Beerplus wort brewing kits. Nothing can be easier than this. Wort smells great. I got the blonde ale (with fast liquid yeast) and an english pale ale (with regular yeast).

Once unboxed looks like this:

The yeast is Kveik Oslo - Liquid Yeast and prefers a temperature range of 24-36C. I'll need to keep my study warm this week with the cold front if I want to drink it this coming weekend... Kveik can complete fermentation in three days though at higher temperature. Interesting yeast. I remember @Snyper564 liked it.

Mmm, might set up the electric blanket around the fermenter tomorrow. I don't have a thermostat handy but Kveik has such a huge range I doubt it's an issue.

How does it actually work ?
do you just chuck the yeast in and the magic happens?

Brewing Kits - Wort Brewing kit

These kits include the wort and yeast.

Oh ok, I see you need to use your own bucket or container to ferment in.
From the picture I thought you did it all in the silver bag, so was wondering how they did the valving etc.

@GreGorGy do you do the double cleaning of a fermenter like we do with a keg?
