beers. But following are some of the popular methods of brewing beers at home.
Single stage
Here the wort is fermented, aged, and bottled in one container that has enough
headspace so that foaming can take place. It is simple and has a low start up cost.
Blowoff
Here the wort is fermented in a glass carboy that is filled till the neck. This helps the
foam and any other unwanted stuff to blow out from the blowoff hose.
2-Stage
The fermentation starts in a bucket or a carboy that is big
enough for the foaming to take place in this stage. After the
foam subsides, the beer is put in the secondary fermenter, which
is generally a glass carboy. This lets the beer age and clear
from the sediment 'stuff'.
