🍻 ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ Click ‘SHOW MORE’ ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️🍻

Put those thoughts aside. Coach Chris of WolfMoon Brewing will walk you through step by step on how you can home brew beer using an Extract Kit using a Full Quantity Boil technique

We will be showing how to brew a Kolsch beer using an Extract Kit obtained from Northern Brewer. Coach Chris will take you step by step through each stage of the process and give explanations of why and how to assist you in avoiding the pitfalls home brewers can make. Some of these are a quick way to measure your water quantity; how to prepare the extract; how to add your extract to the pot to avoid boil overs; how a spray bottle of water can assist with boil overs; how strong of a boil you need; when to take your specific gravity readings; when you should put your yeast in (known as pitching); and where to store your fermenter (and at what temperature) to let the yeast do its job efficiently.

So come on along and join the many home brewers out there by making your own beer – you’ll be amazed at how simple and easy it really can be.

Thanks for watching and we’ll see you next brew!! 🍻
