Before you begin experimenting with beer recipes, you should be clear on the basics involved with beer. For one, most beers are made using barley, which before using needs to be malted and mashed. Another key ingredient are hops, depending on the type of beer these vary. The key differentiator in the types of beer is the type of fermentation used in brewing them. The two main types of fermentation are top fermentation, which makes the beer fuller and stronger, also known as ales and are generally best had at room temperature, where beer brewed with bottom fermentation, known as lager, tends to be lighter and definitely more refreshing. The latter category is what is generally drunk cold, and sold commonly in bottles.

Understanding these points will allow you to understand beer recipes better, as this will explain the effect of each process and ingredient. If practiced enough, you will soon be churning out your own set of beer recipes soon.
