Notes

Brewed during the COVID-19 Virus Pandemic of 2020.

Yeast Starter: (1-2 days ahead)
Break the yeast packet.
When the packet has expanded, mix 1/2 cup of malt extract into 2 cups of water (or double this in a gallon jug).
Bring to boil - simmer for 10 mins. Add ¼ teaspoon of yeast nutrient.
Cool to 80 F - pour into sterile 2 qt. jar. Add yeast and cover with aluminum foil.
Shake as often as possible (seriously, multiple times a day!)

Wort:
Bring 2 gallons of water 160F. Add grains and steep for 25 mins.
Turn off heat. Add all sugars. Add water or extract to reach target gravity. Check gravity with a refractometer.
Bring to boil and add bittering hops.
Boil for 45 mins. and then add the aroma hops, 1 tsp. of Irish Moss and ½ tsp. yeast nutrient. At this time place the wort chiller in the brew pot to sterilize.
After 60 mins., remove from heat.
Begin to force cool.
Cool to 80F, and add to cool water in fermenter. Take readings.
Aerate well and pitch yeast.
Ferment for 1 week between 64-72F.
Sanitize can of cherry puree. Pour cherry puree into secondary bucket and transfer beer. Stir occasionally with a sterilized spoon.
Leave in secondary for 2 weeks. Take readings.
Bottle with priming sugar. Drink in 2-4 weeks.
