Extract<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"itemBody\">\n<div class=\"itemFullText\">\n<h3>First Time Brewing With Extract<\/h3>\n<p>Malt extracts (both pre-hopped and un-hopped) are all about making good beer as simply and easily as possible. It is our goal to assist you get the best finished product possible. First we will start with the basics of working with extract kits found at most homebrew shops. They are basically concentrated, unfermented beer. Next we will move to an extract only beer that you will need to add hops to for the boil. Finally we will introduce some terms most brewers should familiarize themselves with to talk the homebrew lingo.<\/p>\n<h3>First Time Homebrewer Equipment Requirements<\/h3>\n<p>We highly recommend you acquire a beginner kit from a reputable homebrew supplier. That should cover most all of the specialty equipment (outside of ingredients) like a hydrometer, racking cane, fermenter, bottling bucket and bottling wand to name a few items. We would also recommend a 3-5 gallon (12-19 L) stock pot to get going and be sure to start your collection of good, solid bottles (no twist-offs). They can be acquired from most homebrew supply stores as well.\u00a0<strong>Need to find a homebrew supplier?<\/strong>\u00a0<a href=\"\/resources\/suppliers\">Search here<\/a>\u00a0to find a homebrew shop in your area.<\/p>\n<h4>Instructions for making great no-boil beer from a beer kit:<\/h4>\n<p>1. Bring 2 quarts (~ 2 L) of water to 160-180 \u00b0F (71 to 82 \u00b0C), basically steaming but not boiling. Then remove from heat.<\/p>\n<p>2. Add your beer kit and additional fermentables according to the directions. Suggested fermentables include brewers sugar, dried malt extract, liquid malt extract, rice syrup, demerera sugar, Belgian candi sugar or any combination of the above. Each will impart its own unique flavor profile. Ask your local shop owner for advice on how to get what you want.<\/p>\n<p>3. Stir aggressively to ensure that everything gets dissolved. Put a lid on the pot and let it sit for 10-15 minutes on the lowest heat setting. This should keep your temperature in the 1160-180 \u00b0F (71 to 82 \u00b0C) range you need to ensure that you achieve sanitation.<\/p>\n<p>4. Add the contents of your pot to 4 gallons (15 L) of water already in your fermenter. Mix well, at least a minutes or two. This helps aerate your wort prior to your yeast addition. If you take hydrometer reading you will need to mix aggressively for a good 4-5 minutes to get even consistency throughout the wort. If you have any questions about proper sanitization techiques for your equipment, definitely consult your local homebrew shop.<\/p>\n<p>5. When the side of your fermenter feels cool to the touch, it is safe to add your yeast. Some authors recommend re-hydrating your yeast in water first. I have never been able to discern a difference when doing side-by-side comparisons with good quality yeasts, and I don&#8217;t care for the additional contamination risk.<\/p>\n<p>6. Ferment as close to recommended temperature range as possible. Live in warm climate?\u00a0<a href=\"\/article\/controlling-fermentation-temperature-techniques\">Refer to this article<\/a>\u00a0to make a budget swamp cooler to keep your fermentation temperatures under control.<\/p>\n<p>7. When activity in the airlock drops to a bubble every 1.5-2 minutes, fermentation is pretty much done. If this has been completed within 2-4 days, leave in fermenter for an additional 2-4 days for clearing.<\/p>\n<p>8. When you are ready to bottle, put all your clean bottles upside down in the bottom rack of your dishwasher and allow it to run through the rinse and dry cycle. Be sure the &#8220;heat dry&#8221; option is on. It is the steam that sanitizes your bottles. Boil 1 cup of water with 3\/4 cup of corn sugar for a couple of minutes. Allow to cool then add to your sanitized bottling container. With the help of your racking cane, transfer your beer to your bottling container, give it a couple of gentle stirs and bottle.<\/p>\n<h4>Instructions for making great extract only beer (recipe provided below):<\/h4>\n<p>1. Bring 3 gallons (11.4 L) quarts of water to 160-180 \u00b0F (71 to 82 \u00b0C). Then remove from heat.<\/p>\n<p>2. Add your malt extract and any additional fermentables according to the recipe.\u00a0Stir aggressively to ensure that everything gets dissolved, you should not feel any clumps at the bottom of the brewpot. Then turn the heat back on and bring to a boil.<\/p>\n<p>3. Once you reach a boil, add your first addition of hops. Add the rest of the hops according to the directions in the recipe.\u00a0<strong>Important note:<\/strong>\u00a0the time of a given hop addtion is usually indicated by how much time is left in the boil, so a 15 minute hop addition indicates there should be 15 minutes left in the boil when you add those hops. During the boil, take the time to thoroughly clean and santize any equipment that will touch the wort after the boil such as your fermenter, airlock and funnel (if using).<\/p>\n<p>4. Place the brewpot in an ice bath either in your sink or other large container to cool the wort down as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n<p>5. Add the contents of your pot to 2 gallons (7.6 L) of water already in your fermenter. Mix well, at least a minutes or two. This helps aerate your wort prior to your yeast addition. If you take hydrometer reading you will need to mix aggressively for a good 4-5 minutes to get even consistency throughout the wort. Again be sure that any thing in contact with the wort is properly sanitized<\/p>\n<p>6. Now you can refer to step 5 through 8 in the no-boil instructions given above to get you the rest of the way there.

Stir aggressively to be sure all the extract is dissolved. Bring wort to a boil and add the first round of hops, the bittering hops. Keep adding water to try to maintain at least 3 gallons (11.4 L) of wort.&nbsp;With 10 minutes left in the boil, add second flavor addition of hops. When the boil is over, remove the brewpot and place the brewpot in an ice bath. Once the temperature drop below 100 \u00b0F (38&nbsp;\u00b0C), pour the wort into your fermenter and add cold, aerated water to your bucket fermenter until you reach 5 gallons (19 L). Wait until the temperature reaches about 70&nbsp;\u00b0F (21&nbsp;\u00b0C), then it is time to pitch your yeast. If you have the equipment, take a sample of wort and record your original gravity with a hydrometer. Ferment for 1 week, trying to hold the ambient temperature around&nbsp;68 \u00b0F (20 \u00b0C). Optional: After one week you can transfer the beer via racking cane into a carboy to help clear the beer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After two weeks, check the gravity with a hydrometer to see the final gravity. Bottle the beer with priming sugar and condition the beer for 2 weeks at room temperature. One month after brewday, your beer should be carbonated and ready to drink.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<aside class=\"page-main__post-ads\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"page-main__post-ads-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"addrop-wrap\" data-id=\"382281\"><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stillspirits.com\/pages\/create-distilling-systems\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/RahrBSG-SS-Create-BYO-Banner-Ads_300x600.png\" alt=\"RahrBSG Create+\" \/>\r\n<\/a><\/p><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/aside>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":372441,"parent":18792,"menu_order":5,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-45462","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Brewing Beer With Extract Kits - Brew Your Own<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Malt extract kits are all about making good beer as simply and easily as possible.
