Instructions:

1     If your pot size allows, bring a total volume of 6 gals to near boil, 200 degrees. If not, do a partial boil with 2-3 gallons of water. Turn off heat.

     2. Add Fermentables and dissolve them completely. Turn heat back on and bring to a boil. This will be a 60 min boil. FOLLOW HOP SCHEDULE. With 15 minutes left add 1 tsp Irish Moss (Optional Clarifier-Sold Separately) boil remaining 15 minutes.  Remove from heat. Steep all hops for 10 minutes and then remove and squeeze bag.

     3. Cool hot wort to below 75 degrees by either placing boil pot in cold ice water or by using a wort chiller. Siphon the wort into a 6.5 gallon or bigger fermentation vessel containing enough water to total 5 ¼ - 5 ½ total gallons. The extra is for sediment loss.

    4.   Take hydrometer reading and pitch yeast. Ferment about 67-71 degrees for 7-10 days. Longer if you are on the cooler side.

   5.  Siphon beer into a 5-gal carboy and top up if necessary, to about 1-2 inches below cap or bung. Affix airlock and cover to keep light out and let clear for 2-4 weeks.

   6.   Dissolve the priming sugar in approximately 1 cup of warm water.  Add to the bottom of the bottling bucket.  Then carefully siphon beer into the same bucket. Be careful not to move carboy too much while it is siphoning. Take a final hydrometer reading while siphoning into bucket.  Fill bottles to 1 inch from top of bottle and cap. Store beer at 67-72 degrees for 14 days minimum to ensure carbonation. Enjoy!!!!
