Winemaking
You can make beer from brew kits according to the instructions on the package, but you can also experiment by enriching it with various additions. One of them can be honey, which will give the finished beer an excellent aroma and add health benefits. Check out our recipe and see if it suits your taste.
Honey beer recipe
Preparation:
Tip: Thoroughly wash the equipment used to make the beer and rinse it in a solution of potassium metabisulfite.
Remove the yeast from under the concentrate lid. Place the closed can in a vessel with hot water for 10 minutes.
Into a 4–5 L pot, pour 2 L of hot water, add the honey, and stir until it dissolves. Then pour in the contents of the can with the concentrate and mix thoroughly again.
Add the yeast to a glass of water at 25–28 °C. Leave it for 20–30 minutes to rehydrate.
Pour 18–20 L of lukewarm water into the fermentation vessel (bucket or carboy). Top up with the cooled wort (water + honey + can contents). Mix everything thoroughly again.
When the temperature of the solution is within 21–27 °C, pour in the prepared brewer’s yeast and stir for a few minutes to properly aerate the wort.
Tip: You can pour the wort into the fermenter from a height, which will also aerate it properly.
Close the carboy or fermentation bucket and fit an airlock half-filled with water. Measure the extract content in °Blg.
Ferment the beer for about 7–10 days, until it reaches 0–2 °Blg.
If the sugar content is at this level, you can transfer the beer to bottles.
For this, add about 4 grams of sugar or glucose, or one COOPERS carbonation drop, to a 0.5 L bottle.
Cap the bottles, or if you’re using PET bottles, screw them closed and leave for about 3–4 weeks to carbonate.
The beer will be at its best after 3–4 months.
We recommend sampling a bottle from time to time to find when the flavor is best for you 😊
