Note from Ricardo

1) At this point, you should measure the original gravity (OG) of the wort. To do so, use a sterilized ladle to add some of the liquid to a graduated cylinder. Insert a hydrometer into the liquid. Take note of the measurement: it should be around 1050.

2) At this point, you should measure the final gravity (FG) of the beer. To do so, use a sterilized ladle to add some of the liquid to a graduated cylinder. Insert a hydrometer into the liquid. Take note of the measurement: it should be around 1010. Discard this liquid sample.

Good to know: The alcohol content of this beer recipe is 5.3%. Here is the formula for calculating the alcohol content of beer: OG – FG ÷ 7.5 = %

Materials Required:

1 large funnel, about 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter

1 fine sieve with one or two hanging hooks, about 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter

1 probe thermometer

1 fermenter, minimum 20-cup (5 litre) capacity with rubber stopper
