BREW DAY

1. Start with making sure everything in the kit is included.
2. Read through the instructions!
3. Wash and clean the brewing equipment. Do not use the same equipment used while cooking or washing up.
4. Sterilize the equipment that will be in contact with the wort after chilling. Follow the dosage instructions on your sanitizer. Your beer can get infected if this step is not done correctly.

STEP 1

1. Fill up with water to the false bottom if you have one before measuring 3 liters per 1 kg malt.
2. Heat the water to 67°C.

STEP 2
MASH IN – Add the crushed malt while stirring to avoid lumps. Mash at 67°C for 60 minutes.

STEP 3
MASH OUT – Rise the temperature while stirring to 76°C for about 10 minutes.

STEP 4

SPARGE – Prepare water in your hot liquor tank / kele to a temperature of 80°C.
Rinse the malt gently with the hot water until you reach a total volume of 23-25 liters in your boil kettle.

STEP 5

• BOIL – Start heating until you reach a boil.
• The wort shall boil for 60 minutes. Do not use a lid!
• Open the bag labeled 20 g Chinook. Pour the content into the kale. Boil 40 minutes.
• Open the bag labeled 20 g Perle. Pour the content into the kale. Boil for 20 more minutes.
• Turn off the heat / Flame Out!
• Chill wort to 80°C.
• Open the bag labeled 60 g Cascade. Pour the content into the kale.

STEP 6

COOLING – Cool the wort as rapidly as possible to around 20°C.

• Use a spiral cooler or other cooling equipment. If you do not have any, put the fermentation bucket in a cool water bath.
• NOTE! Do not use any un-sanitized equipment or hands in the wort at this point!
• Take a sample measure the Oeschle value with a hydrometer and write down the result.
• This is the OG value.

STEP 7

FERMENTATION AND DRY HOPPING

• Open up the yeast package with sterilized scissors and pour it into the cooled wort.
• Fill the airlock and put it into the lid of the fermentation bucket.
• Place the bucket on a dark spot keeping a temperature of around 20°C. Ferment for 11 days.
• Open the bag labeled 100 g Centennial. Pour the content into the kale. Ferment for 3 days
• When the fermentation is done take a wort sample and measure it with your hydrometer. This is the FG.
