Three! Beer Recipes! Ah! Ah! Ah!

Brewcraft Newcastle Brown
-Did NOT follow recipe on label
1. Carrie put some H2O in a small thing and is boiling it (the water, not the pot, cause that don't boil too well)
-CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN
-If you have an electric stove, watch that pot dance. Dance, pot, dance.
-Reminder- Never go to Costco when you are hungry
2. Clean Carboy
-1st round-iodine
-2nd round-hot water
*warm malt in can so it comes out of the can easier
3. We're pouring the can that came with the kit into the water
4. Add 400 grams of malted barley (whatever type Eric left) and 600 grams of corn sugar (dextrose) to the mixture
-keep below a boil
-keep below a burn
5. Add 2 generous tbsp Co-op honey (it's crystalized so we need more and Carrie still has allergies)
6. Stir for a LONG time
NOTE-make sure Carrie has her hose at the beginning or she will run around the house asking, "My hose, where's my hose?"
7. Dump "some" (couple inches) water in the carboy so it won't shatter when we add the mixtuer
NOTE- Don't let Jessi stir. She doesn't stir with love.
NOTE-If Carrie can't find her thermometer, tell her to check her hot springs kit.
8. Proof the yeast in wort/water combination @ ~72 [degrees] F.
NOTE: Use metric measurements except for temperature
9. Move pot off heat to temper before adding to carboy
-Wave hand over 2 cups of mixture with yeast and intone "Yeasties, yeasties"
NOTE: if you lean in real close, you can hear them sing, "Oooooo, we're making beer, oooooooo"
10. Time to pour (@ ~ 120 [degrees] F)
-wash your hands
NOTE: Liquor is good
11. Swish the liquid
NOTE: Liquor is still good
12. Add more water to Carboy
13. Swirl once again. Gently.
14. Sterilize hose with vodka
15. Insert blowoff hose in Carboy
16. Let the magic happen
