Hi, I'm Mark Emiley on behalf of Expert Village
and it is finally time to start brewing. One
of our first steps is going to be to add our
liquid extract to hot water to help liquefy
it further. Now we are going to start adding
water to our kettle, we are going to add about
a gallon right now. After we have added the
water, we are going to turn on the heat and
start aiming for a temperature of one-hundred
and sixty-five degrees. Now we are going to
add our grains to our steeping bag. We are
either going to use a muslin sack and tie
it off, or
you can use one of the nylon steeping bags.
Now that we have got our temperature where
we want it, we are going to start steeping
our grains. We are going to turn off the heat.
Now we are going to add our grains into our
steeping water. We are going to give it a
nice push down to get it mixed up so we can
get some nice color extraction.
We want the temperature to stabilize in the
one-fifties. When it is done this, you want
to put the lid on and let it sit for a half
an hour.
