Brewing Instructions

How to Brew It:

  1. Clean your gear. Sanitise everything like your beer depends on it... because it does!
  2. Pour 2L of warm water (500ml boiling + 1.5L cold) into fermenter
  3. Soften your extract can in hot water (10 mins), then empty into fermenter
  4. Add 2 x 500g Coopers Light Dry Malt Extract (1kg total). Swirl gently until dissolved
  5. Top up fermenter to 23L mark with cold water. Boom! You have made wort!
  6. Cool wort to 18-22°C. Take gravity reading if you want
  7. Sprinkle yeast over wort
  8. Cover, add airlock, and place in dark spot (21-27°C)
  9. After 6 days, check gravity. Take gravity readings on consecutive days. If they are identical and under 1.016, you are good to go!
  10. Bottle or keg. Add carbonation drops or sugar when bottling. Wait 2 weeks minimum (better at 4 weeks)
  11. You are officially in on the secret! Drink and brag.
