REWING INSTRUCTIONS
(Read completely before brewing)
1. Activate the liquid yeast culture (Wyeast); follow yeast activation directions on back of the pouch accordingly prior to brewing.<br />
2. Start with 3 gallons of water in the brew kettle. Steep the bag of grains between 150-160F for 30 minutes. After 30 min remove the grain bag and discard. <br />
3. Add 6.6 lbs. of Wheat LME, do your best to fully dissolve the extract before you apply direct heat. You now have wort (unfermented beer), bring your wort to a boil (watching carefully for a boil over).<br />
4. Add hop packet # 1. Set timer for 60 minutes.<br />
5. With 5 minutes remaining of the boil time, add hop packet #2.<br />
6. After the 60-minute-long boil, remove kettle from heat, cover with lid and cool as quickly as possible to 100F. (Use a wort chiller or make an ice bath in your sink.)<br />
7. Fill your sanitized primary fermenter with 2 gallons of cold water, and then add your 100F wort. Using additional cold water, top up the volume to 5 gallons. <br />
8. Add (pitch) yeast when wort temperature in the fermenter is between 65 and 72 degrees. F. stir or shake well to oxygenate your wort.<br />
9. Affix a sanitized airlock into your primary fermenter; allow to ferment in the dark until airlock activity slows to a bubble every 30-45 seconds. Primary fermentation should take approximately 5-10 days. Do your best to ferment within the temperature range of your yeast.<br />
10. Transfer (rack) by siphoning to a secondary fermenter and add the cherry puree. Allow your beer to finish fermenting and clear. (approx 1-2 weeks)<br />
11. Prepare to bottle by boiling 5 oz. of Dextrose (corn sugar) in 1 pint of water. Cool and pour into a clean bottling bucket.<br />
12. Transfer your beer into the bottling bucket by siphon, and then affix bottling tube to the racking assembly and bottle immediately.<br />
13. Allow the bottles of beer to rest at room temperature for 10 -14 days to carbonate, then cool and enjoy!!<br />
TIPS & TRICKS
We recommend boiling your hops in a hop bag (muslin sock) or straining them out before fermenting.
