Recipe Notes

Cold Break

Instead of ice, I cool my brew pot by dunking it in a sink full of cold water and ice packs from my mom (who is paranoid about food safety and travelling with food) and the local sports injury clinic.

Fermentation

After the beer has cooled, add filtered beer plus 1/2 packet of yeast to carboy and shake vigorously.
