Adding hops and grain
Once you've become comfortable with making simple kit beers from a can of concentrate, adding hops or grain to your brews is great way to enhance or change kit beers with little effort.
Cleaning and sanitation
Rogue microbes are the biggest enemies of all brewers, closely followed by dirty equipment. Keeping your equipment clean and ensuring good sanitation when brewing gives you the best chance of making great-tasting beer.
Troubleshooting
There's plenty that can go wrong with homebrew, but with luck most of the consequences will be minor.
Following a few golden rules will give your beer every chance of success and avoid the prospect of undrinkable beer.
Maturation and storage
Once you have bottled or kegged your beer, treat it well and you'll be rewarded with a beer that remains at or near its peak for many months.
