Step 4

(check and top-up to 5 gallons if necessary)

Fermentation Through Bottling

let cool in pot or primary before adding yeast, pour into carboy leave a at least a third of the carboy empty and put on airlock.

Chill wort, top off to 5 gallons, and stir to mix and aerate. Pitch yeast and ferment at 65F-70F for one week make sure your carboy is at least a third empty leaving space for frothing and foaming.

After 1 week rack into your secondary carboy and let sit for another week. The less exposure to oxygen the better it will taste.

Step 5

After the second week you will put in the priming sugar and bottle the beer sterilize and then bottle and cap again siphon slowly so that that sediments don’t get mixed in.
