Dutch Apple Ale

RECIPE INCLUDES:
1 Can Englishman's Nut-Brown Ale HME
1 Pouch Booster™
1 Packet Dry Brewing Yeast (under lid of HME)
1 Packet One-Step™ Sanitizing Cleanser

YOU PR0VIDE:
2 Teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
2 Quarts Apple Juice



Step 1: Sanitizing
Follow the steps outlined in your MR.BEER® BEER KIT INSTRUCTIONS. (You can find a copy of these instructions to download by clicking on the "Kits" tab of the website.)



Step 2: Brewing
2.1. Fill keg with cold water to the 4-quart mark on the back.

2.2. Remove yeast packet from under lid of HME, then place unopened can in hot water to make the liquid easier to pour.

2.3. Using the sanitized measuring cup, place 4 cups of water into a clean 3-quart pot, then SLOWLY sprinkle in 1/2 pouch (1 cup) Booster™ while continually stirring to avoid clumping.

2.4. Once the Booster™ is fully dissolved, bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Add 1/2 cup of brown sugar and 2 tsp. of ground cinnamon. Stir to mix well.

2.5. Stir HME and 2 qt. apple juice into mixture of water and Booster™. This mixture is called the wort.

NOTE: HOPS MAY APPEAR AS GREEN LEAF PARTICLES AND WILL NOT DISSOLVE.

2.6. 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.

2.7. Sprinkle yeast into keg and allow to sit for 5 minutes. Stir vigorously again, then screw on lid.

2.8. Ferment by placing the keg out of direct sunlight and in a location with a consistent temperature. Allow beer to FERMENT A MINIMUM OF THREE WEEKS at room temperature (between 68°-76°F).
