Brighton Amber Ale
Well I thought I would give this beer thing a try so here is our very first attempt. This will be a 2 stage fermentation from our brew kit.






6.6 LbsMuntons Amber LME
16 oz2 Row American grain malt
3/4 ozFuggles Hops
2 pktSimple dry ale yeast (med-low floc)
6 galBottled Spring water
1 1/4 cupCorn Sugar for priming


Add 2 gallons of cold water to the brew pot bring to 160F. Add grain to muslin bag. Steep grain at 160F for 20 min. Add liquid malt extract, Fuggles hops; boil for 45 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool wort to 80-90F. Add 4 gallons of water to the primary fermenter then cooled wort. Pitch yeast. Ferment until finished gravity has been reached. Utilize a 2 stage fermentation method.


Our original gravity was 1.038. ABV estimate 3.6% - 4.2%
