Introduce the brewing process and phases: Brew Day (4 hours), fermentation (2 weeks), bottling (1 hour). Total time is about a month.

Collect 3 gallons of water using a bucket and fill the boil kettle.

Turn the heat on high to heat the water.

Use a mesh bag for steeping grains; tie it off and let it sit in the kettle for 30 minutes at 170 degrees Fahrenheit.

Monitor the temperature with a thermometer; remove the steeping grains once the temperature reaches 170 degrees or after 30 minutes.

Bring the water to a rolling boil, looking for visual signs of boiling (fissures on the surface).

Turn off the heat before adding the liquid malt extract to prevent scorching.

Squeeze the liquid malt extract into the kettle, mixing it in with a spoon to ensure it dissolves completely.

Turn the heat back on to bring the mixture back to a rolling boil after adding the malt extract.

Ensure the kettle is not covered to prevent boil overs; lower the flame if necessary to manage the hot break foam.

Add the bittering hops after the hot break has settled.
