Clean and sanitise all equipment i.e. fermenter, spoon, can opener etc.
Pour the contents of the extract cans into a 30L fermenter. Rinse the remaining extract out with roughly 2 litres of hot water & add to fermenter. Stir till evenly distributed.
Top fermenter up to 23L using hot or cold water to get the required fermentation temperature (15-18c). Mix well.
At this point you have the option to take a gravity reading and note it.
Pitch yeast over the top of the wort. Mix thoroughly. Seal up fermenter, add airlock and allow to ferment.
On day 6 of fermentation sprinkle hop pellets over the top of beer.
Take gravity readings on day 9 -10 onwards to confirm fermentation has completed. If the gravity has stabilised the beer is ready to be bottled/kegged.
Allow to condition for 4 weeks if bottling. If kegging, then check out our kegging guide here. Lastly don’t forget to drink responsibly and often.
