Winemaking
You can prepare your brewkit beer according to the instructions on the package, but you can also experiment by enhancing it with different additives. One of these can be honey, which will give the finished beer an excellent aroma and enrich it with a health-supporting aspect. Check out our recipe and see for yourself if you like it.
Honey beer recipe
Preparation:
Tip: Wash and rinse the equipment used in the preparation of the beer thoroughly in a solution of potassium metabisulphite.
Remove the yeast from under the concentrate lid. Place the sealed can into a container with hot water for 10 minutes.
Pour 2 L of hot water into a 4-5 L pot, add honey and stir until it is dissolved. Then pour the contents of the concentrate can into the setup and stir thoroughly again.
Add the yeast to a glass of water with temperature of 25-28 °C. Leave it for 20-30 minutes to dissolve.
Pour 18-20 L of lukewarm water into a fermentation container or demijohn. Complete the setup with cooled wort (water + honey + can contents). Stir everything again thoroughly.
Once the temperature of the solution is between 21 and 27°C, pour in the previously prepared brewer's yeast and stir everything again for a few minutes to aerate the wort well.
Tip: You can pour the wort into the fermenter from a height, which will also aerate it properly.
Close the demijohn or fermentation container and install an airlock half-filled with water. Measure the extract content in Blg degrees.
Ferment the beer for about 7 - 10 days until it reaches 0 - 2 Blg degrees.
Once the sugar content is at this level, you can bottle the beer.
To do this, add approximately 4 grams of sugar, glucose or a COOPERS tablet to each 0.5 L bottle.
Cap the bottles or, if you are using PET bottles, close them with a screw cap and set aside for about 3 - 4 weeks to carbonate.
The beer will be at its best after 3 - 4 months.
We recommend trying one bottle every now and then to discover when it tastes best for you 😊
