Lets Cook Beer.


Long time no post... Sorry about that. Today I will be talking about beer.
Beer, Beer, Beeeer, where do I start. Through a long and convoluted set of curcumstances my sister, (twin) had a chance to try one of my beers. She liked it. I was asked for the recipe, (beau) her man makes a cracking beer himself, as such I know he is fully capable of understanding this recipe. For all those who don't..... Just ask!
Ingredience:
1 Coopers Barvarian Larger beer kit.
1 Coopers 1kg bag of dextrose.
1kg CSR raw sugar.
Extra sugar for primeing.
Method:
In a pot place the beer kit and cover with water. Bring to the boil. As soon as this happens turn off the heat and allow to rest for ten minutes. Add 2lt fresh cool water to a large stainless steel pot. Bring to simmer, and add sugar and dissolve. Add dextrose and dissolve. Add hot beer kit and mix well. Rinse the beer kit can with boiling water to extract any remaining tea, add this to the wort.
Pour the wort into a clean and sterile fermenter. Top up to 21lt with cold water. Seal fermenter and maintain at 22C for six days. Don't worry about the gravity at this stage, just bottle as per usual, prime as normal. Leave to bottle condition for about 4 weeks.... Chill lightly. Knock the top off one. Enjoy in a long slender beer glass.
