Measure 100 grams of cheddar cheese using precision kitchen scales.

Cut the cheese into cubes.

Measure 50 grams of beer using the same scales.

Add the beer to a pan and heat it up.

Measure 3 grams of sodium citrate and add it to the heated beer, stirring until dissolved.

Reduce the heat to simmer and add the cubed cheese to the beer mixture.

Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and the mixture is creamy, about a few minutes.

Pour the cheese dip into a serving container and serve with breadsticks or other dippers.
