What does HBU mean in UNCLASSIFIED

The Home Bittering Unit is an advanced system with several components that work together to help make brewing beer faster and easier. It has a specialized fermentation tank that uses heated liquid to rapidly ferment the beer, as well as a chiller and carbonation unit for perfect serving temperature and head retention. Additionally, the HBU comes with a built-in filter and tap system to ensure that any sediment or bacteria is removed prior to serving.

With the sophisticated features of an HBU, you can make virtually any type of beer! From light lagers and ales, to IPAs, sour beers, stouts, porters, and more - you're only limited by your imagination.

Any variety of specialty grain should do just fine in your HBU - from wheat malt for Hefeweizens, barley malt for Pilsners or pale ales, honey malts for amber ales, oats for stouts or porters, rye malts for Irish Red Ales - there's really no limit to what you can brew!

No - most HBUs are designed with large enough tanks that you should be able to create full batches of up to 5 gallons at once. Depending on the size of your HBU however, larger batches may require multiple brews.

The amount of time needed depends on many factors including the specific style being brewed and how much beer is being made. Generally speaking it takes between 1-2 weeks for fermentation plus 3-4 days with additional conditioning time before bottling or kegging your finished product.

Yes – it's important not only to rinse out any remaining residue in between batches but also sanitize the brewing vessel itself using either bleach or specialized cleaners that are safe for use inside brewing equipment. Additionally it's important not only clean but sterilize all other items such as hoses, bottles or kegs before reusing them so as not harbor unwanted bacteria which could spoil your next batch of beer.

Yes – Since most HBUs use high temperatures during part of its process it’s advised that caution be taken when handling both heated liquids as well pressurized gases (CO2). Always wear protective clothing and eyewear when operating an HBU and be sure keep children away from the area while brewing.
