Ossetian beer

Description

The drink is prepared quickly and easily. Brewing beer at home is quite complicated. It requires suitable utensils and convenient conditions. To make the malt, use the following proportions: corn – 1 part, barley or wheat – 1 part or 1:1.5. Brewing malt in these proportions will make the beer tastier. Serve chilled.

Instructions

1. 1

   Step 1

   Heat the water to 30 degrees. Gradually add the malt flour roasted to a dark brown color and stir with a wooden spoon to prevent lumps from forming.

2. 2

   Step 2

   Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer for 5-6 minutes over medium heat. The liquid running off the spoon should remain clear.

   Strain the liquid into a pot through several layers of cheesecloth or a sieve.

   Place the pot or other container with the strained liquid over high heat and cook for 1.5 hours from the time it begins to boil.

   Add hops to this mixture and continue boiling for another hour. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool down to 20-25 degrees. Remove the hops.

6. 6

   Step 6

   Pour the liquid into the container where it will ferment. Add the starter. To do this, mix the brewer's yeast with a small portion of the decoction and add sugar. When the yeast begins to activate, return it to the fermentation container and mix thoroughly.
