Notes

Bring 6.5 Gallons of Water to your brew kettle. Bring the water to 155°F. (This allows for 1.5 gallons boiling evaporation)

Pour steeping grains into the mesh bag and steep for 30 minutes. You do not want the water to heat over 170°F.

After 30 minutes remove steeping grains from water. Allow grains to drain but do not squeeze or press bag to wring out excess water.

Bring water to a boil.

Add 6.6 lb. (2 Full Containers) Porter Liquid Malt Extract. Stir.

This now wort (unfermented beer). Bring the wort to a boil. Watch your boil to avoid a messy boil over.

Once the foaming subsides (Hot break) begin your 60 minute boil process.

60 Minutes Left: Add 1.25 oz. East Kent Goldings for bittering.

10 Minutes Left: Add 1 whirlfloc tablet.

After your wort is done boiling, cool your wort down to 70°F.

Pour wort into the primary fermenter. Avoid dumping the trub/sludge on the bottom of the brew pot into your fermenter.

Measure Specific Gravity of the wort with your hydrometer and record. Specific Starting Gravity for this recipe is around 1.055.

Aerate the wort.

Add yeast to fermenter, seal fermenter and wait.

Maintain fermentation temperature of approximately 68°F.

After one weeks measure Specific Gravity of the wort with your hydrometer and record. Specific Finishing Gravity for this recipe is around 1.013.

Once the Specific Finishing Gravity is obtained, dump yeast, wait one week to finish in fermenter and then bottle or keg.
