- 1 20 qt. stock pot
- 7 gm Red Star Ale yeast or 14 gm Whitbread Ale yeast

- Hydrometer
- Thermometer

Procedure:

1. Bring 1.5 gallons of cold H2O to boil and add 6 lbs. of Muntons and Fisons Amber Dry Malt.
2. Stir it so it doesn't stick to the bottom.
3. Add 1 oz. of either Northern Brewers Hops (pellets) or 1 oz. of Galena Hops (pellets).
4. Bring it back to boil and keep it boiling for 45 min. Boiling not simmering.
5. 5 minutes before the time is up add 1/2 oz. Fuggles Hops (pellets).
6. Pour this boiling concoction into your sterilized fermenting bucket along with enough H2O to make 5 gallons.
7. Put the Thermometer and the Hydrometer in the bucket too.
8. When the temp. is around 70 degree fahrenheit add either 7 grams Red Star Ale yeast or 14
grams Whitbread Ale yeast.
9. Pitch the yeast by sprinkling it on top, letting it sit for 5 min. then stirring it in.
10. Put the lid on with the airlock and leave it alone for 7 days.
11. Again use the Hydrometer to check the Specific Gravity on the 7th day and
12. again on the 8th day, If the reading are the same, bottle it!
13. To bottle, 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 2 cups H2O and the 3/4 cupcorn sugar) siphon into your bottles and cap them.
14. Wait about 2 weeks before you drink your new home brewed beer. The longer you leave it in the bottle the better it will become.
15. Enjoy your beer :)
