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.
