In a large brew kettle, heat 5 liters of filtered water to approximately 70°C (158°F).

Heat the Water

Once the water reaches the desired temperature, add 4 cups of pale malt, 1 cup of crystal malt, and 0.25 cup of roasted barley to the kettle.

Add Malt

Allow the mixture to mash for about 60 minutes, maintaining the temperature around 65-70°C (149-158°F).

Mash

After mashing, sparge the grains with an additional 3 liters of hot water to extract the sugars.

Sparge

Bring the wort to a boil and add 1 oz of bittering hops. Boil for 60 minutes.

Boil the Wort

In the last 15 minutes of the boil, add 0.5 oz of aroma hops.

Add Aroma Hops

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

Cool the Wort

Once cooled, transfer the wort to a sanitized fermentation vessel and pitch the packet of ale yeast.

Pitch the Yeast

Seal the fermentation vessel with an airlock and allow it to ferment at around 18-20°C (64-68°F) for about 1-2 weeks.

Fermentation

Once fermentation is complete, prepare to bottle by sanitizing bottles and caps.

Prepare for Bottling

Transfer the beer into the bottles, leaving about an inch of headspace, and cap them.

Bottle the Beer

Let the bottles condition at room temperature for another 1-2 weeks before refrigerating.
