1. Mix

Clean and sanitise all equipment that will come in contact with the brew.
In a 2 litre pan, mix the Mr Beer Unhopped Malt Extract - Golden with 500ml of water and bring to
the boil.
Add the Cascade Hops and boil for 10mins.

2. Brew

Place the FV in a location out of direct sunlight and try to ferment between 20C-24C.
Fermentation should take 7 to 14 days.
At around day 7 check the specific gravity (SG).
Check the SG again the following day and so on.

3. Bottle

The brew is ready once the SG has stabilised over a couple of days.
Gently fill clean PET bottles to about 3cm from the top.
Add 2 carbonation drops per bottle and secure the caps.
Store the bottles upright in a location out of direct sunlight at or above 18C.

4. Enjoy

After at least two weeks, check for sufficient carbonation by squeezing the bottles.
Bottles kept unrefrigerated should improve with age.
When ready to drink, chill the bottles upright.
The chilled beer may be poured into clean glassware, leaving the sediment behind.
Expect the alcohol content to be approximately 6.5% ABV.
