Unless you want to be up until midnight making your beer, particularly if you're doing all grain like the real mother fuckers do it, and nobody gave you a wort chiller for christmas, buy your ingredients one day and brew another. We're lucky enough to have friends who buy wort chillers for christmas but still ain't tryin to be here until 10, it's new years eve holler.
And save your receipt after you buy ingredients. I threw mine away so here's what the book told us to get and we got everything as close to it as we could:
Malts
- 9.75 lbs. Pilsner Malt
- 1.5 lb Pale Crystal Malt
- 22oz British Dry Extra Light Malt (not in recipe but purchased in case readings are low)
Hops
- 2oz Liberty (4.5% AA) - got 1oz Centennial at 9% instead
- 3oz Saaz (3% AA)
AA stands for something to do with acidity, and there is a massive hop shortage right now, and the local brewstore will only let you purchase 4oz of hops at a time. So we had to make up for this, i like my fucking hop, so dood at brewstore said if it calls for 2oz of 4.5%, thats identical to 1oz of 9%. So we got that instead, 1oz of Centennial at 9%.
Yeast
- Belgian Ale - They didn't have this so instead we bought Fat Tire Ale Yeast.
Water
- 10 gallons deer park
Panty Hose
- 1 Pack
That's it.
