1
Prepare the Mash
In a large mash tun, combine the malted barley and rice with 20 liters of water. Heat the mixture to approximately 65°C (149°F) and maintain this temperature for 60 minutes to allow the enzymes to convert starches into sugars.
2
Lautering
After the mash process, transfer the mash to a lauter tun. Rinse the grains with hot water to extract as much sugar as possible, collecting the liquid, known as wort, in a separate kettle.
3
Boiling
Bring the wort to a boil and add the hops. Boil for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally. This step is crucial as it contributes to the flavor and aroma of the beer.
4
Cooling the Wort
After boiling, cool the wort rapidly using a wort chiller or an ice bath to bring the temperature down to around 20°C (68°F). This is important to prepare for fermentation.
5
Fermentation
Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermentation vessel. Add the yeast and seal the vessel with an airlock. Allow the beer to ferment for about 1-2 weeks at a stable temperature.
6
Bottling
Once fermentation is complete, siphon the beer into sanitized bottles, leaving some space at the top. Cap the bottles securely and let them carbonate for another week at room temperature.
7
Chilling and Serving
After carbonation, refrigerate the bottles. Serve chilled in a glass and enjoy your homemade Michelob Ultra!
