BUY YOUR INGREDIENTS, GET INTO THE KITCHEN, AND GET STARTED!!!

Crack the grain if your supply store doesn't.  Here, a blender was used with great results.

Put it in the cloth bag, and boil for about an hour in a gallon or two of water
 
 

Remove it (be sure to squeeze all the grainy goodness into the mix!)
 

Add the malt and 3/4 of your hops and  
let it loil about an hour.  In this batch, a can of brand name extract was used.
 
 

Add the remainder of your hops, boil another 5 minutes This is called adding the "finishing" hops.
 

Have your fermenter ready to go.  Use ice to get the temp down fast. 
 
 

The ice does the trick... see thermometer on the side of fermenter
I don't have one of these... I'm jealous.  You need the temp down so you don't kill the yeast and to avoid airborne impurities from having time to get in.
 
 

Dump in the hot wert 
 
 
 

Top off the fermenter to 5 gallons 
 
 

Sprinkle on the yeast 
 
 
 

Put the top on, the airlock in, and  

WAIT FOR THE YEAST TO DO ITS JOB!!!!
