Ice cubes will work better, but we just had a bunch of ice packs on hand and decided to use these for the chilling process. Note: We used ice packs instead of ice cubes in the picture above. You can top off the wort with clean water if you don’t quite have 1 gallon of beer in the bucket.

You want to have the bucket filled to half way up the 2 gallon bucket. Once the wort reaches 80☏ or lower, you can now pour the wort into your sanitized bucket. Make sure you don’t put too much ice water in the sink or the water will spill over into your pot and contaminate your beer. Fill your sink with enough ice water so that you can place the stock pot in the ice water bath. Hops added with 5 minutes or less remaining in the boil are used for aroma.Ĭhilling : After the boil, you will need to quickly chill your wort to below 80☏. Hops added with 10-30 minutes left in the boil are flavoring hops. The first hops added to the wort are generally used for bittering. Once the wort is boiling, you can now add hops according to the recipe hop schedule. Occasionally stir the wort to prevent the wort from boiling over. The Boil: Bring the sugary liquid (also known as “wort”) to a boil. Note: we used a stainless steel strainer to rest our grains on top of the stock pot. The purpose of rinsing the grain is to collect as much sugar and flavor from the grains that remain trapped inside the grain bag. After at least 45 minutes, lift the grain out of the hot water and pour 4 cups of warm water through the grains while collecting the runoff back into the pot. Put your grain in the steeping bag and soak the grains. Just be sure that the water doesn’t exceed 168☏. Don’t worry if you are a few degrees warmer or cooler than 155☏. Turn off the heating source once the water reaches 155☏. Steeping The Grain : Heat up about 1.5 gallons of water in a stock pot. Any equipment such as your buckets, lids, airlocks, siphons, spoons, jugs, stoppers, & any other equipment that touches your beer should be thoroughly cleaned & sanitized at every step in the beer making process. The bottles, capper, and stock pot are not included in the 1 gallon starter kits.Ĭlean & Sanitize : Using cleaners and sanitizers such as Star San, Iodophor, or One Step to thoroughly clean & sanitize all of your equipment is very important. Note: Much of the equipment & ingredients listed above are included in our 1 gallon equipment starter kits.
