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. Place unopened can of UME in hot water to make the liquid easier to pour.

2.3. Place both packets (1 oz.) of Spalt 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.

2.5. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat. Add 1/2 cup honey, stir to mix well.

2.6. Stir cider mix and UME into mixture of water and honey.

2.7. Pour mixture into keg. Bring the volume of the keg to the 8 quart mark by adding more cold water, then add hops (in hop sack). Stir vigorously to mix well.

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

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 73°-81°F).

NOTE: WHEN YOUR CIDER HAS CLEARED IT'S READY TO BOTTLE.
