Making the Wort
After selecting the recipe that you wish to use, assemble the
ingredients and equipment. Make certain that the equipment is clean and
sterilized (more info here)
If you are going to make say 19l of brew, use a boiler that
will hold at least 4.5l comfortably, preferably more.
Pour the water into the boiler but make certain to measure how much
you use, because the remainder will have to be poured into the
fermenter.
Add the malt, sugar, and hops; the hops may be loose or tied in a
muslin
or 'Terylene' bag. Some of the water can h0 used to dissolve the liquid
malt out of its container. At this stage, add any colouring or water
hardener that is to be used.
Bring the contents of the boiler to the boil, stirring until the
sugar and malt have dissolved. Boil gently for thirty minutes. If the
hops are in a bag, no straining will be necessary. Lift this bag out by
the attached string, drain, and squeeze gently. Then either pour or
strain the hot liquid into your fermentation vessel, where previously
you placed the rest of the water and the citric acid. Place the lid on
the fermenter and allow to cool.
If your fermentation vessel is a plastic garbage can and you boiled
all of the liquid, allow the liquid to cool before pouring it into the
can.
