6 - BREWING YOUR BEER



Cleanliness is extremely important in brewing the perfect batch of beer. Bacteria and fungi can ruin your beer if it is not completely removed from your brewing equipment.
You must clean and sanitize all your equipment

To make beer from a beer kit:
1. Steam 2 quarts of water to 160-180F, then remove from heat.
2. Add your beer kit ingredients and fermentables according to the directions. Each variety of fermentable will contain a unique flavor.
3. Stir the ingredients together, make sure everything gets dissolved. Put a lid on the pot and let it sit for 10-15 minutes on low heat.
4. Add the contents of your port to 4 gallons of cold water already in your primary fermenter. Mix well, this will add oxygen to your wort before you add the yeast. When the side of the fermenter feels cool, it is a sign to add the yeast. Some kits recommend re-hydrating your yeast in water, but it is not necessary.
