Ingredients
Main Ingredients
Optional Flavorings
Preparation
1. Prepare the Rice
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps in fermentation.
2. Prepare the Water
In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil.
3. Add Rice
Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed rice and let it cook for about 15 minutes until soft.
Brewing Process
4. Combine Ingredients
In a large fermentation vessel, combine the cooked rice, barley malt, and hops.
5. Add Water
Pour the remaining 4 cups of water into the fermentation vessel with the rice mixture.
6. Cool the Mixture
Allow the mixture to cool to a lukewarm temperature.
7. Add Yeast
Sprinkle the yeast over the cooled mixture and stir gently to incorporate.
Fermentation
8. Cover and Ferment
Cover the fermentation vessel with a clean cloth and let it sit at room temperature for 5-7 days.
9. Check Fermentation
Check daily for bubbles, which indicates fermentation is occurring.
Flavoring (Optional)
10. Add Flavorings
If desired, add lemongrass, ginger slices, and chili peppers during the last day of fermentation for additional flavor.
Bottling
11. Prepare Bottles
Sterilize beer bottles by boiling them in water for 10 minutes.
12. Bottle the Beer
Using a funnel, carefully pour the fermented beer into the sterilized bottles, leaving some space at the top.
13. Seal the Bottles
Cap the bottles tightly and store them in a cool, dark place for another week to carbonate.
