Instructions:

    1. If your pot size allows, bring a total volume of 5.5 gallons to near boil, 200 degrees. If not, do a partial boil with 2-3 gallons of water. Turn off heat.

    2. Add 3.3 lbs of sorghum and dissolve 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 the Irish Moss/Yeast Nutrient Combo Pack. Boil for 5 minutes and add the 3 lbs of honey. Stir until dissolved and finish the remaining 10 mins of the boil. Remove from heat.

    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 gallon 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. Boil one cup of water stir in priming sugar until dissolved , then add to bottling bucket. Next, carefully siphon beer into the same bucket. Be careful not to move carboy too much while it is siphoning to avoid sediment. Make sure to stir gently to ensure priming is evenly dissolved. Take final hydrometer reading. Fill bottles to 1 inch from top of bottle and cap securely. Store beer at 67-72 degrees for 14 days minimum to ensure carbonation. Enjoy!!!!
