- Cascade Hops 25g

- Method
Make up a ‘hop tea’ with some recently boiled water and allow the hops about 30 minutes to steep. While you’re waiting, sit the Bootmaker Pale tin in some hot water to make it a bit runnier and easy to pour out.
Add the Dry Light Malt to your fermenter and pour in some warm water. Give it a stir to dissolve.
Pour the hop tea through a fine sieve into the fermenter and add the Bootmaker Pale before topping up the fermenter to the 23L mark.
Give it all a good stir and once the temperature is below 20°, pitch the S-04 yeast. Ferment away! Once airlock activity has ceased and gravity is stable for 2 days, proceed to bottle/keg.
