Brewing Instructions
Mashing the Grains
Heat 3 gallons of water to 165°F (74°C) and mash the grains in a brew kettle for 60 minutes at 152°F (67°C). Stir occasionally.
Sparging
After mashing, sparge (rinse) the grains with an additional 2 gallons of water heated to 170°F (77°C) to extract sugars.
Boiling the Wort
Bring the wort to a boil, adding Fuggle hops at the start of the boil. Boil for 60 minutes, adding East Kent Goldings hops with 15 minutes remaining.
Cooling the Wort
After the boil, cool the wort quickly using a wort chiller or an ice bath until it reaches approximately 70°F (21°C).
Fermentation
Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermentation vessel. Pitch the yeast and seal with an airlock. Allow it to ferment for 1-2 weeks at 65-70°F (18-21°C).
Bottling
Once fermentation is complete, dissolve priming sugar in 2 cups of boiling water and add to the bottling bucket. Transfer the beer to the bottling bucket, mix gently, and bottle.
Conditioning
Cap the bottles and store them at room temperature for 1-2 weeks to carbonate before chilling and tasting.
