Navigate! History How To Serve It Ingredients Equipment Recipes Appendices	Equipment for a canned malt recipe available at; home brewing supply stores, hardware stores, etc A brewing pot. This needs to be a 3-5 gal. capacity non-galvanized metal pot. I use an enamelware cold pack canner, a stainless steel stock pot is another good choice. A primary fermenter. Usually a plastic container, 7 gal. capacity with a tight lid. (All plastics should be food grade) A secondary fermenter. Also, 5-7 gal. capacity. A glass carboy works well. Fermentation airlock and bung. A racking cane and plastic tubing to siphon beer from one container to another. Bottle filler. Scale with a range of 0-4 or more ounces marked off in 1/4 ounce increments. A caper and crown bottle caps. Sufficient bottles. (48-52) Long spoon, (not aluminum or wood) Bottle brushes, and cheesecloth or fine mesh bag this can be a jelly bag found in hardware stores or discount stores or a hop bag found in brewing supply stores.

Build a Racking Cane You will need: A length of 3/8 OD copper tubing the depth of your fermentor plus 4 inches. Avoiding kinks gently bend or curl up the bottom of the tubing so you won't be racking off the bottom. Carefully shape the top so it curves out and over the rim. This is heavy enough that it won't "float up" during bottling or racking from one fermentor to another. Sterilize it by boiling Appendices. Top Home

Build a Wort Chiller 1. 25-35 feet of copper tubing 3/8 inch out side diameter 2. 2 hose clamps to fit tubing 3. 3-5 feet 1/2 inch siphon hose (An old one is fine.) cut in half. 4. Something to connect the hose to your faucet. I use an old water purifier connector. This is the type that screws on to the faucet and has a nipple on it for the hose. You slip the hose on the nipple and water flows through. Try using the adapter for your bottle washer. Now you just wrap the copper tubing into a coil that is 1-2 inches smaller than the diameter of your brew pot, have an inlet and an outlet making sure they clear the rim of your pot several inches, clamp 1/2 of the hose to each end and slip the inlet hose on the adapter. Check for leaks. To use it simply set it in your pot the last 15 min. of the boil, to sterilize it. Then hook the inlet to the faucet and let the circulating cold water cool your wort. After it cools a bit I like to stir with a whisk to aerate at the same time. Let it cool to 65-75 degrees.
