Homemade Russian beer
Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. Homemade Russian beer is made as follows: 1. Grind the hops and mix with malt. 2. Put the hops and malt into a pot, add water, bring to a boil, then cool the wort. 3. Make a starter from flour and yeast, and let it rise. 4. Add the starter to the cooled wort and let it ferment for six hours. 5. Seal it in a barrel and leave for three days in a cool place. 6. Then pour into bottles, seal tightly, and place in the refrigerator for 1–2 weeks. The most important thing is not to give in and taste it too early. This is the most common mistake among beginner brewers—say, only a week has passed, and the eager novice thinks: "Well, just a little taste... one glass... another glass..." and as a result, the beer doesn't ferment for the required time. So don't rush—let the beer sit for at least 10 days. Good luck, and serve chilled.
