The Boil
Now bring the contents of the brew pot to a boil.
Then, remove from heat and pour the malt extract in.
Return to heat and again bring to a boil. Be careful, because here, it can easily boiled over !
Once you have a controlled boil add about 2/3 oz of the hop pellets to the boil and maintain the boil for 60 minutes and after 45 minutes, submerse your kitchen strainer in the boil to sanitize it for later use.
At the end of the 60 minutes, turn off the heat and add the rest of the hop pellets.
Cover and wait 10 minutes. Hops added at this point will contribute some hop flavor and aroma to your finished beer.
