How to Make Beer

  1. Dissolve 1 packet (2.25 tsp) of brewer's yeast in 1 cup of warm (100-105°F) water. Add 1 cup of white sugar and 2 cups of liquid malt extract.
  2. Carefully transfer the mixture to your fermenter, leaving plenty of head space.
  3. Skim any foam or debris from the surface as needed during fermentation.
  4. After 72 hours, bottle your beer. Ensure your bottles and caps are sterilized. You can achieve this by boiling them for 10 minutes. Screw-top bottles are highly recommended.
  5. Allow the beer to condition in the bottles for at least 2-4 weeks before enjoying. This allows for carbonation to develop. Expect to yield approximately 12 bottles.
  6. Once ready, chill thoroughly and serve.
  7. Please remember to drink responsibly.
