Start by heating about a third of a gallon of water in a pot on the stove until it boils.

Add 1 pound of dry malt extract to the boiling water and stir to dissolve, ensuring no clumps form.

Once dissolved, maintain a rolling boil for one hour, stirring occasionally.

At the 5-minute mark, add 2 grams of hops for bittering and stir.

At the 30-minute mark, add another 2 grams of hops for flavoring and stir.

At the 60-minute mark, add the final 2 grams of hops for aroma and stir before removing from heat.

Cool the mixture by adding the remaining water to bring it down to a one-gallon batch size.
