Modelo Recipe

Brewing Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Water

   Start by measuring 100 liters of clean water. This will be the base for your beer.

2. 2

   Malt Preparation

   Crush the barley malt to expose the starches. Measure out 12 kg for the brewing process.

3. 3

   Mashing

   In a large brew kettle, heat the water to approximately 65°C (149°F) and add the crushed barley malt. Stir well and maintain the temperature for about 60 minutes.

4. 4

   Sparging

   After mashing, sparge the grain by rinsing it with an additional 20 liters of hot water to extract remaining sugars.

5. 5

   Boiling

   Bring the wort to a boil and add 250 grams of hops. Boil for 60 minutes, adding more hops at the last 15 minutes for aroma.

6. 6

   Cooling the Wort

   After boiling, cool the wort quickly to below 25°C (77°F) using a wort chiller or an ice bath.

7. 7

   Fermentation

   Transfer the cooled wort to a fermentation vessel and pitch 0.5 kg of yeast. Seal the vessel and store it in a cool, dark place for 1-2 weeks.

8. 8

   Bottling

   Once fermentation is complete, mix in 0.1 kg of priming sugar to carbonate the beer. Bottle the beer and cap the bottles.

9. 9

   Conditioning

   Allow the bottled beer to condition for an additional 2 weeks at room temperature to develop flavor and carbonation.
