1
Mashing
In a large pot, combine the barley malt and corn with 500ml of water. Heat to 65°C and maintain that temperature for 60 minutes. This process converts starches into sugars.
2
Lautering
After mashing, separate the liquid from the grain using a strainer or a lautering tun. The liquid collected is called wort.
3
Boiling
Bring the wort to a boil and add the hops. Boil for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally. This will extract flavors and bitterness from the hops.
4
Cooling
After boiling, cool the wort quickly to around 20°C using a wort chiller or an ice bath.
5
Fermentation
Transfer the cooled wort to a fermentation vessel. Add the yeast and seal the container. Allow it to ferment at a temperature of around 18-22°C for about 1-2 weeks.
6
Bottling
Once fermentation is complete, siphon the beer into clean bottles, leaving some space at the top. Cap the bottles and allow them to condition for an additional 1-2 weeks.
7
Enjoy
Chill the bottles and serve your homemade Heineken!
