Enjoy the crisp, refreshing taste of Heineken, a premium pale lager brewed with high-quality ingredients for a smooth finish and a touch of bitterness.

Heat the water to 66°C (150°F) in a large pot. Add barley malt and maintain the temperature for 60 minutes to convert starches to sugars.

Mashing

After mashing, separate the liquid (wort) from the grain. Rinse the grains with hot water to extract more sugars.

Lautering

Bring the wort to a boil and add hops. Boil for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Boiling

Cool the wort quickly to around 20°C (68°F) using a wort chiller or an ice bath.

Cooling

Transfer the cooled wort to a fermentation vessel. Add yeast and seal the container. Allow fermentation for about 1-2 weeks.

Fermentation

Once fermentation is complete, siphon the beer into bottles, leaving some space at the top. Cap the bottles and let them carbonate for another 1-2 weeks.
