Mr.Beer - beer kits, home brewing systems, and microbrewery supplies

Ruck and Maul Red-Archived

This is a great beer to drink after the victory! A true English Ale brewed with a bit of the Rugby spirit. This beer is so good, you'll need to protect the keg from the other team, but don't lose any teeth doing so!

RECIPE INGREDIENTS:
1 Can Octoberfest Vienna Lager HME
1 Can Whispering Wheat Weizenbier HME
2 Packets Dry Brewing Yeast (under lid of HMEs)
1 Packet Columbus Pellet Hops
1 Packet Perle Pellet Hops
1 Muslin Hop Sack
1 Packet No-Rinse Cleanser

YOU PR0VIDE:
1/2 Cup Honey

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.)

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 both HMEs, then place unopened cans in hot water to make the liquid easier to pour.

2.3. Place all pellet hops (1/2 oz Columbus and 1/2 oz Perle) into the hop sack, then tie it closed and trim away excess material.

2.4. Using the sanitized measuring cup, place 4 cups of water into a clean 3-quart pot and bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Add 1/2 cup of honey, stir to mix well.

2.5. Stir HMEs into mixture. This mixture is called the wort.

NOTE: HOPS MAY APPEAR AS GREEN LEAF PARTICLES AND WILL NOT DISSOLVE. KEEP HOPS IN FERMENTER THE ENTIRE FERMENTATION PERIOD.

2.6. 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.

2.7. Sprinkle yeast from both packets 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 TWO WEEKS at room temperature (between 68°-76°F).

Step 3: Bottling & Carbonating
Follow the steps outlined in your MR.BEER® BEER KIT INSTRUCTIONS.

TIP: FOR BEST RESULTS ALLOW TO LAGER FOR AT LEAST 2 TO 4 WEEKS.
