Follow along step by step during the video.  DIY Home Brew | English Brown Ale | Craft Beer Recipe Kit | Brewing to Taste Test. This turned out really good and got better after 3 to 4 weeks.
The first step was pouring about 2.5 to 3 gallons of filtered water into my brewpot. This brew kit came with grains to steep and make the wort as well as liquid malt extract and dried malt extract. The grains must be steeped in the brewpot. Once you steep them, much like tea, don't squeeze the grain bag after steeping, rather just let it drain. This is what make the wonderful wort. Now bring the wort to a rolling boil and add the liquid malt extract, the aromatic hops and the dried malt extract. Boil it for around and hour then cool it down as quickly in an ice bath or use a wort chiller. Once cooled down I then added the wort to my fermenter and added filtered water to the 23L mark. I then added the yeast. Once the yeast is added the brewing is complete. Now I let it ferment for 2 weeks. Once the 2 weeks was up I bottled it. I mixed and added priming sugar to the fermented brew right before bottling. After bottling I let it sit in the bottle for minimum of two weeks. Before partaking, I placed in the refrigerator to chill.

DIY Home Brew | Octoberfest with Mosaic Hops | Craft & Brew Beer Recipe Kit





DIY Home Brew | Octoberfest with Mosaic Hops | Craft & Brew Beer Recipe Kit. I was very happy with the way this turned out. I had to use Mosaic hops b/c when this kit showed up the package had been damaged and the hops missing. I had some mosaic hops on hand so I used those. I turned out amazing tasting and very unexpectedly unique. These beer kits make the best beer. I don't buy beer at the store anymore since making my own. Making your own beer gives you a deeper appreciation for it. You realize what goes into making it and the ingredients involved. You can have this brewed on your brew day in less than two hours. I left it in the fermenter for two weeks, then two more weeks after bottling.
