Instructions

1. Heat 2-3 gallons of water to near boiling point.
2. Add in your sorghum syrup and dark candi sugar and stir until fully dissolved. *save honey for later*

3. Add some hot water to the empty sorghum container and shake to dissolve any syrup stuck to the sides. Add into the wort.
4. Bring the wort to a rolling boil.
5. Add the hops according to the hop schedule.
6. Boil for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7. With 15 minutes left, add Yeast Energizer / Irish Moss Combo Packet.

8. With 10 minutes remaining, add the wildflower honey. Use the same hot water method used with the sorghum to ensure you get all the honey added into the wort.

9. Using the muslin bag provided, steep the contents of your spice back in the wort for the last 10 minutes of the boil.

10. Terminate boil and cool the wort to 70°F. An immersion chiller or ice bath works well for this.
11. Transfer the wort to a sanitized fermenter and top off with clean, filtered water to 5 gallons.
12. Pitch the yeast and seal the fermenter.
13. Ferment at 68-70°F for 5-7 days.

14. Transfer off the sediment to a sanitized secondary fermenter to condition for 2-3 weeks.
15. Transfer to a bottling bucket and stir in 5 oz. priming sugar. Mix until evenly distributed and bottle your beer.
16. Once bottled, allow 2 weeks for carbonation in a cool, dark room. Enjoy!
