|
||
|
||
First open a Homebrew and pour it in a glass.....
|
||
|
||
Stuff needed to continue:
|
||
1 20 Qt. stock pot
|
||
Water
|
||
1 7.6 Gallon Food-Grade plastic bucket with tight fitting lid and airlock
|
||
Heat (preferably a stovetop)
|
||
1 long charasamatic wooden spoon
|
||
A cool place to put your beer while it's fermenting
|
||
2 cases of empty RETURNABLE pints(16oz.)
|
||
Lot-O-bottle caps and a capper
|
||
1 Hydrometer
|
||
1 Thermometer
|
||
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.....
|
||
stay tuned
