Brew Ingredients

Method

Brewing Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Brew

    In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil. Add 2 cups of malted barley and let it steep for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Hops

    After steeping, remove the barley and bring the water back to a boil. Add 0.5 cups of hops and boil for another 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Cool the Wort

    Once boiling is complete, cool the wort quickly using an immersion chiller or by placing the pot in an ice bath.

  4. 4

    Fermentation

    Transfer the cooled wort to a fermentation vessel. Add 1 tsp of brewing yeast and close the vessel with an airlock. Let it ferment for 1-2 weeks at room temperature.

  5. 5

    Bottling

    After fermentation, dissolve 3 tbs of priming sugar in a small amount of boiling water and add it to the beer. Bottle the beer and cap each bottle securely.

  6. 6

    Carbonation

    Let the bottles sit at room temperature for 1-2 weeks to carbonate before refrigerating.

  7. 7

    Enjoy

    Once carbonated, chill your beer in the refrigerator and enjoy your homemade brew!
