Homebrew beer ingredients consist of malt, hops, sugar, and other ingredients needed for homebrewed beer. The ingredients that are needed vary depending on the flavor of beer that is wanted. The flavor is decided by the malt, hops, or grains used. For instance, if a Light Ale is desired the malt will be different from that of what would be used for a Light Lager.http://www.midwestsupplies.com/aussie-light-ale.html http://www.midwestsupplies.com/european-pilsner.html Like the equipment needed for home brewing, ingredients are also sold separately as well as in kits.http://www.midwestsupplies.com/ Some sites around the World Wide Web that have home brewing supplies are: Home Brewing Supplies, Home Brewers, Northern Brewer, Perfect Brewing Supply and Home Brewing.
