Recipe Notes:

1. Remove the yeast packet from under the lid of the can of hopped malt extract (HME), then place the unopened can in hot tap water.

2. Using the sanitized measuring cup, pour 4 cups of water into your clean 3-quart pot.

3. Bring water to a boil, and then remove from heat. Pour the HME into the hot water and stir until thoroughly mixed. This mixture of unfermented beer is called wort.

4. Fill keg with cold tap water to the 4-quart mark on the back.

5. Pour the wort into the keg, and then bring the volume of the keg to the 8.5-quart mark by adding more cold water. Mix well with the spoon.

First pour:

Very thin, taste was Okay, but added wedge of lime and was a lot better.
