Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Step 1: Prepare the Mash

    In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add 1 cup of malted barley and 0.5 cup of corn. Stir the mixture well and let it steep for about 30 minutes at a temperature between 150°F to 160°F (65°C to 71°C).

  2. 2

    Step 2: Boil the Mixture

    After steeping, strain the liquid into another pot, leaving the solids behind. Bring the strained liquid to a boil again and add 0.1 cup of hops. Boil for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Step 3: Cool the Wort

    Once the boiling time is complete, remove the pot from heat and cool the wort (unfermented beer) quickly using an immersion chiller or by placing the pot in an ice bath. Aim to cool it down to about 70°F (21°C).

  4. 4

    Step 4: Fermentation

    Transfer the cooled wort into a fermentation vessel. Add 0.25 cup of yeast and stir gently to combine. Seal the vessel with an airlock and let it ferment for 1 to 2 weeks at a stable temperature of around 68°F (20°C).

  5. 5

    Step 5: Bottling

    After fermentation is complete, prepare bottles by sanitizing them. In a separate container, dissolve 0.5 cup of priming sugar in a small amount of water and add it to the beer. Bottle the beer, leaving some space at the top, and cap securely.

  6. 6

    Step 6: Carbonation

    Store the bottled beer at room temperature for another 1 to 2 weeks to allow carbonation to develop. After this period, refrigerate the bottles before serving.

  7. 7

    Step 7: Serve

    Chill the beer in the refrigerator before serving. Pour into a glass and enjoy your homemade Michelob Ultra!
