To obtain sanitation, place a lid on the pot for 10-15 minutes on the lowermost warmth setting.Add the contents of the pot to four gallons of cold water in your main fermenter and mix for 1 minute or 2, so as to help adding oxygen to the wort, just before including the yeast. As soon as the side of the fermenter is cold enough, add the yeast and ferment as close to given setting range as you can. The 4th step consists of permitting the beer ferment.The wort will start fermenting for three to five days. After these 5 days, check on the beer each day to note if it’s still fermenting. Remark if the water in the airlock is still bubbling; if it does, let it like that. First fermentation is finished when there’s a gap of 2 minutes in between bubbles. You may now bottle your beer.After putting the beer into bottles, supplementary fermentation begins. Make sure you sanitize first and foremost everything that touches the beer and that you have a good amount of bottles for your new beer.A priming solution is needed for letting the extra yeast in your beer to carbonate the beer, so using some pure dextrose is good. Put 2 or 3 cups of water in the saucepan and then dissolve ¾ cup of dextrose in it. Boil the solution over regular heat, cover it and then place it separately to cool for a few minutes. Then put the bottling bucket on the flooring and the main fermenter on a desk, chair or counter right overhead the bottling container. Make sure that the sediment from the beer stays on the bottom, so do not shake the beer too much when you move it inside the fermenter. Afterwards, assign the plastic hose to the spigot on the main fermenter and put the other end of the hose in the lower of the bottling bucket. Transfer the preparing solution into the bottling bucket, and then open the spigot on the fermenter, letting the beer circulate into the bucket and blend with the solution.After closing the spigot on the fermenter, take off the hose and get it cleaned up. Get the fermenter out of the way, place the bottling container up where it was and connect the hose to its plug. Align all your bottles on the ground underneath it and stick the hose into one of the bottles. Then let the beer fly. Stick the hose in all the way to the bottom, and when the beer gets really near the top, yank the hose out and fix it in the following bottle. The level in the bottle drops when you take the tube out, and you need to allow about one inch of airspace at the very top of the bottle. Once the beer has drained out from the container, put the caps on your bottles, and do it immediately. In the end, verify every bottle for leakage and recap the suspect ones.The 5th step -Find a cool, dark place to put the bottles, in order for the secondary fermentation to take place. Let it there for at least 2 weeks. After the beer is ready, you may take pleasure of it. http://www.homebrewvideos.com/262/make-homebrew/ , http://www.homebrewvideos.com/category/make-home-brew/ , http://www.homebrewvideos.com/
