Cervesa de Cinco de Mayo

Very pale in color, this beer has just enough floral and citrus hop character to let you know it's something special. This brew goes great with spicy Mexican food.

RECIPE INCLUDES:
1 Can Classic American Blonde Ale
1 Pouch Booster™
1 Packet Dry Brewing Yeast (under lid of beer mix)
1 Packet Cascade Pellet Hops
1 Muslin Hop Sack
1 Packet One-Step™ Sanitizing Cleanser

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

NOTE: Be sure to sanitize your hop sack along with all your other equipment.

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 can of mix in hot water to make the liquid easier to pour.

2.3. Place 1 packet (1/2 oz.) of Cascade pellet hops into the hop sack tying it closed, then trim away excess material.

2.4. Using the sanitized measuring cup, place 4 cups of water into a clean 3-quart pot, then SLOWLY sprinkle in Booster™ while continually stirring to avoid clumping.

2.5. Once the Booster™ is fully dissolved, bring to a boil then remove from heat.

2.6. Stir beer mix into mixture of water and Booster™. This mixture is called the wort.

NOTE: Hops appear as green leaf particles and do not dissolve. Keep hops in fermenter the entire fermentation period.

2.7. Pour wort into keg. Bring the volume of the keg to the 8.5-quart mark by adding more cold water. Add hops (in hop sack), stir vigorously to mix well.

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

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

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

TIP: For best results allow to lager for at least 2 to 4 weeks.
