Instruction

4. Add the malt extract to the pot and stir until it is completely dissolved.

5. Bring the mixture to a boil and add the bittering hops.

6. Boil for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

7. Add the flavor hops and boil for an additional 15 minutes stirring in the Blackberry Concentrate and Yeast Energizer / Irish Moss Combo.
