Malt Beverage Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

1

Malt Base Preparation

In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the malted barley and simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

2

Sweetening the Mixture

After 30 minutes, remove from heat and stir in brown sugar until fully dissolved. Add hops and let the mixture cool down to room temperature.

3

Fermentation

Once cooled, sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and stir gently. Cover with a clean cloth and let it ferment in a warm place for 3-5 days.

4

Flavoring

After fermentation, add grated ginger and lemon juice. Stir well to combine.

5

Carbonation

To carbonate, gently mix in the carbonated water. Be careful not to disturb the sediment at the bottom.

6

Chill and Serve

Refrigerate the beverage for a few hours. Serve chilled in glasses, optionally garnished with a slice of lemon or a sprig of mint.
