|
A complete dislike of commercial piss-water beer!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Now on to the recipe........
|
|||
|
|
1st step, Drink the Homebrew you just poured!
|
|||
|
|
2nd step,
|
|||
|
|
Bring 1.5 Gallons of cold H2O to boil and add:
|
|||
|
|
6 Lbs. of Muntons and Fisons Amber Dry Malt
|
|||
|
|
Stir it so it dosen't stick to the bottem
|
|||
|
|
Add 1oz. of either Northern Brewers Hops(pellets) or 1 oz. of Galena
|
|||
|
|
Hops(pellets)
|
|||
|
|
Bring it back to boil and keep it boiling for 45 min.
|
|||
|
|
Boiling not simmering
|
|||
|
|
5 min. before the time is up add 1/2 oz. Fuggles Hops(pellets)
|
|||
|
|
Pour this boiling concoction into your STERILIZED fermenter along with enough
|
|||
|
|
H2O to make 5 Gallons.
|
|||
|
|
Put the Thermometer and the Hydrometer in the bucket too!
|
|||
|
|
When the temp. is around 70DEGF add either 7 grams Red Star Ale yeast or 14
|
|||
|
|
grams Whitbread Ale yeast.
|
|||
|
|
Pitch the yeast by sprinkling it on top, letting it sit for 5 min. then
|
|||
|
|
stirring it in
|
|||
|
|
Put the lid on with the airlock and leave it alone for 7 days
|
|||
|
|
Again use the Hydrometer to check the Specific Gravity on the 7th day and
|
|||
|
|
again on the 8th day......If the reading are the same Bottle it!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
To Bottle:
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Drink another Homebrew then:
|
|||
|
|
STERILIZE your bottles then siphon the beer in to another bucket or your stock
|
|||
|
|
pot add 3/4 CUP corn sugar(Make a simple syrup with 2cups H2O and the 3/4cup
|
|||
|
|
corn sugar) syphon into your bottles. Cap them!
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
OK,so your newbrew is in the bottle and now you ask the all-important
|
|||
|
|
question..................When the HELL can I drink it?????????
|
|||
|
|
|
|||
|
|
Wait about 2 weeks.
|
|||
|
|
The longer you leave it in the bottle the better it will become!
|
|||
|
|
My stoudt, was 10 months old when I opened it and it was World-Class!!!
|
|||
|
|
Next recipe will be for a stoudt similar to Guiness.....
