1
Mashing the Barley
In a large pot, combine the malted barley with 4 cups of water. Heat the mixture to about 150°F (65°C) and maintain this temperature for 60 minutes. Stir occasionally.
2
Straining the Mash
After 60 minutes, strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into another pot, discarding the solid barley grains.

3
Boiling the Wort
Bring the strained liquid (now called wort) to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, add the hops and boil for 15-20 minutes.
4
Adding Honey and Vanilla
In the last 5 minutes of the boil, add the honey and vanilla extract to the wort, stirring to combine.

5
Cooling the Wort
Remove the pot from heat and cool the wort quickly using an immersion chiller or by placing the pot in an ice bath until it reaches room temperature.
6
Fermenting
Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermentation vessel. Add the yeast and seal the vessel. Allow it to ferment in a cool, dark place for about 1-2 weeks.

7
Bottling the Brew
After fermentation is complete, bottle the malt using sanitized bottles and caps. Leave a small amount of headspace.
8
Carbonation
Let the bottled malt carbonate at room temperature for about 1-2 weeks before refrigerating.
