![]() ![]() Make sure you also have some honey on hand (which the directions call for). I had four self-closing swing top bottles sitting around, so I washed those and used them. But you will need caps and a bottle capper. You can also use sanitized empties that you have on hand. The kit doesn’t come with bottles, so you’ll have to supply your own, which you can find here. I kept mine stored in a kitchen cupboard. Once all your equipment is properly sanitized, you’ll go through the mash, the sparge, the boil and then finally cool your brew before funneling it into the gallon fermenter, to sit in a dark place at room temperature for two weeks. It’s helpful to get all the brew day equipment soaking in the no-rinse sanitizer and then read through the directions since there are many steps. The instructions include descriptions of helpful beer-making jargon like “mashing out,” “pitch the yeast,” and more to help you sound more official. You can find the directions for your recipe as well as video tutorials online. The brew will also need to ferment in the jug for two weeks and then spend another two weeks in the bottles. So, select a day when you have plenty of time and few distractions. The entire brewing process for the Brut IPA recipe takes around four hours, and you’ll need to monitor the brew’s temperature throughout. Inside the kit: Grain, hops, yeast, amylase enzymes, racking cane, tubing clamp, fermentation jug, sanitizer, airlock, tubing and screw cap topper ![]()
