Process:

Fresh wort kit brewing is the way to easily make your own beer at home without all the brewing time and costly equipment.

Ensure your fermenter is clean and sanitised, add the wort into your fermenter. Add water into the wort bag to rinse out and top up the fermenter to 20ltrs. Then add your yeast which is included and place in a warmish place where it will be at the instructions temperature.

On day 7 add your hop addition.

To check if your beer has finished fermenting take a sample and measure with a Hydrometer, if it has achieved final gravity and the reading remains the same for 3 days then its time to add the Brausol cold crash the beer, this is where you need to get it cold for a few days so that it clears.

Once clear it’s time to package your beer, this can be either into a keg or bottles. If using bottles don’t forget to add sugar to the bottles, you can calculate the amount you need using our online calculator, if you are carbonating using sugar you will need to keep the packaged beer somewhere warm again so that the yeast eats the sugar and produces the carbon dioxide.

As this is a lager of sorts, the next step is condition your beers, this means you need to place them somewhere cold for a period time, a week minimum, 4 weeks would be great if you can wait that long.

Then its time to drink and enjoy your home brewed beer, cheers!!
