Recipe Notes:
My modified instructions:
1. Fill keg with cold water to the 4-quart mark on the back.
2. Place unopened can in hot tap water (warm liquid pours more easily).
3. Using a sanitized measuring cup, place 2 quarts of water into a clean 5-quart pot.
4. Bring water to 160*F, turn off heat and add grains (steep for 30min)
5. Remove grains, add Booster and UME, bring to a boil, add hops and boil for 5 min. Remove from heat. Stir HME into pot.
6. Pour wort into keg. Bring the volume of the keg to the 8.5-quart mark by adding more cold water. Stir vigorously to mix well.
7. Sprinkle yeast pack into keg (Temp between 68-75*F) and ALLOW TO SIT FOR 30 MINUTES. Stir vigorously again, then screw on lid.
8. Place keg out of direct sunlight, in a location with a consistent temperature (between 68°-75°F)
ALLOW TO SIT A 21 DAYS @ 68-75*F.

Was a big hit at In-service, the flavor was very Wheat and clover with the hops light in the background
