Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Large cooking pot
• 6 gallon plastic bucket
• Rubber stopper with hole that fits in the bucket lid hole
• Plastic airlock for rubber stopper hole
• Bleach
• 6 pounds of Victory malt extract
• 1 ounce of Cluster pellet hops
• 1 ounce Mt. Hood pellet hops
• 1 ounce North Brewer pellet hops
• 1 package of Edme Ale brewing yeast
• 6 gallons of water

1. Begin with sterilization of the bucket, lid, stopper and airlock by boiling water and 1 ounce of bleach. Drain the mixture into the sink over the lid, and rinse well with water until no smell of bleach can be detected. Do not use too much bleach or leave any bleach residue in the bucket or lid.

2. Boil 3 1/2 gallons of water. Put the other 2 1/2 gallons in the refrigerator to chill.

3. Add 6 pounds of a Victory malt extract to the boiling water.

4. Once the mixture begins to boil again, add 1 ounce of Cluster hops, 1 ounce of Mt. Hood hops and 1 ounce of North Brewer hops. Let it boil rapidly for about one hour. Remove from heat.

5. Place the pot in the sink, and run cold water around it.

6. Pour the 2 1/2 gallons of water from the refrigerator into the bucket.

7. Mix the malt and hop mixture into the cold water in the bucket. Add the package of Edme Ale brewing yeast and stir. Put the lid on the bucket, making sure it is sealed tightly. Fill the airlock about 3/4 full with water. Let it sit about two weeks before bottling.
