Draft Ingredients
Method
Brewing Directions
Prepare the Mash
In a large pot, heat 500 ml of water to around 70°C (158°F). Add the malted barley and stir well. Let it sit for about 60 minutes to allow the sugars to extract from the grains.
Boil the Wort
After the mash, strain the liquid (wort) into another pot. Bring the wort to a boil and add the hops. Continue to boil for 60 minutes, adding more hops at the 30-minute mark if desired for additional bitterness.
Cool the Wort
After boiling, cool the wort quickly using a wort chiller or by placing the pot in an ice bath. The wort should be cooled to around 20°C (68°F).
Fermentation
Transfer the cooled wort to a fermentation vessel and add the yeast. Seal the vessel with an airlock and let it ferment at room temperature for about 1-2 weeks.
Bottling
Once fermentation is complete, dissolve the priming sugar in a small amount of water and add it to the beer. Bottle the beer and cap each bottle. Let them sit at room temperature for another week to carbonate.
