Ingredients for Japanese Beer

Preparation

Brewing Directions

1. Mashing

In a large mash tun, combine the water, Pilsner malt, and rice. Heat to 65°C (149°F) and hold for 60 minutes.

2. Lautering

After mashing, drain the wort from the mash tun and rinse the grains with hot water to extract more sugars.

3. Boiling

Bring the wort to a boil and add the hops. Boil for 60 minutes, adding hops at intervals for bitterness and aroma.

4. Cooling

After boiling, cool the wort quickly using a wort chiller until it reaches 20°C (68°F).

5. Fermentation

Transfer the cooled wort to a fermentation vessel and pitch the yeast. Seal the vessel and allow to ferment for 1-2 weeks.

6. Bottling

After fermentation is complete, bottle the beer with priming sugar and allow to carbonate for 1-2 weeks.

7. Enjoy

Chill the bottles and enjoy your refreshing Japanese beer!
