How to Make Sake at Home - a Taylor-Made Guide. Introduction This guide is intended teach you, my fellow homebrewers, how to make authentic seishu (清酒) - refined Japanese sake - at home, using the kan-zukuri (寒作り) [cold-brewed] method. While I’m at it, I hope to educate you, at least a little bit, about different varieties of sake and maybe even different methods for making it. I don’t intend for this to be the be-all end-all guide to sake, but I do hope it will encourage more homebrewers to take an interest in making their own sake at home from ingredients and equipment that are quite readily available.
This is a long guide, with many pages, but hopefully taking the time to read all those pages will help shed some light on a process that appears at first glance to be complex, mysterious, and heavily steeped in tradition, but really is quite simple at its heart and even based on familiar science. This guide is aimed at moderately experienced homebrewers.
