Beer make steps

Step 2: Brew

1. Steep Grains. Fill your 5-gallon brew kettle with 2.5 gallons of water. As you heat your water, steep your grains for 20 minutes, or until your water reaches 170 degrees.  When you remove your grains, let the water drip out of the grain bag and into the kettle.  Don't squeeze your grain bag as you don't want to extract tannins, which may give your beer unwanted flavors.

2. Bring kettle to a boil, remove from heat, and add malt extracts. Be careful not to boil over. Hops are added at various intervals. Refer to your exact recipe as to when you need to add hops to your boil
