Brewer's Comments:
"This was my second time brewing this beer, I brewed my first batch in March 2010. It's a 'Premium' recipe that includes (UME), in place of the Booster that ships with the 'Standard' MB refills. I really liked this beer the last time I brewed it because it wasn't too 'heavy' it should make a nice thirst quencher on these really hot summer days".



Fermentation:
The ingredients used in this recipe included 1 can hopped malt extract (HME), 1 can of unhopped malt extract (UME) and 1 packet of dry yeast. Recipes having more ingredients require increased fermentation time, to allow the yeast to work.

Carbonation:
Just as in the fermentation process carbonation times will depend on the complexities of each recipe. As a rule of thumb recipes containing many ingredients take longer to carbonate than recipes with few ingredients.

Conditioning:
I usually condition my beers in a cool basement for 21 days before drinking it, allowing all the flavors to fully merge and mature in the bottle before drinking. In a dark basement, with a consistent year round temperature range of 50-70F, naturally brewed beer can be stored for up to 12 months. Prior to drinking the beer should be refrigerated for 24-48 hours and served cold in a clean glass.
