Laura's Cousin
Pam
and her husband
David
have a fun hobby
and they have graciously shared their secrets with us!
yummy
ingredients: dark malt extract
(easier than mashing it yourself), 1/2 lb. Cara
Munich & 1/4 lb. Chocolate grains (ground fine
and in a cheesecloth bag), 1 oz. Pearle hops
and Liquid KOLSH German Ale yeast
Steep grains in
2 gal. of water.
Steep it! Steep
it good! Then remove grain bag.
David makes
sure all is well!
Pour in the
malt extract, scrape out
every last drop!
Pearle
hops.......1/2 oz. in....boil 1/2 oz. in
....boil 1/4 oz. in boil.
Chillin' the
wort!
Hard to tell from this but there's a copper coil
in the wort, the garden hose is hooked to one
end and cool water brings the temperature down.
Straining the
beer into the carbouy!
Pitchin' the
yeast!
Blow off hose
from beer into water so it
can bubble for a couple weeks.
