Step 1: Sanitizing
Follow the steps outlined in the Instructions that came with your kit.

NOTE: Pour sanitizer from your brew keg into a blender and soak 10 minutes, then puree your can of fruit.

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 beer mix, then place unopened cans of mix and UME 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 and bring to a boil. Add 1/2 tsp. of nutmeg and 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon, then remove from heat.

2.4. Stir beer mix and UME into mixture. This mixture is called the wort.

NOTE: Hops appear as green leaf particles and do not dissolve.

2.5. Pour wort into keg. Bring the volume of the keg to the 8.5-quart mark by adding more cold water. Add can of pureed fruit and stir vigorously to mix well.

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

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

Step 3: Bottling & Carbonating
Follow the steps outlined in the Instructions that came with your kit.
