• 500 gm Dextrose    
• 1 Goldings Hop bag
• Safale S04 yeast

Procedure:

1. Well in advance of preparing recipe, place 5-10 litres of water in closed containers in a fridge and chill*
2. Place Goldings Finishing Hops bag in a sterilised cup with 250mls of boiling water. Leave to steep for 10 minutes.
3. Mix TC Sparkling Ale, Liquid Malt and Dextrose in fermenter with 2 litres of hot water.
4. Pour hops liquid into fermenter. Place hops bag to one side for later.   
5. Add chilled and tap water to make up 22 litres at 20-25°C.
6. Stir vigorously for 5 minutes.
7. Add Safale Yeast and stir gently.  Add Hops bag to fermenter.
8. Seal fermenter and store in cool conditions, ideally around 18-20°C**

Notes:

*  Use sterilized containers with lids. Do not leave your fermenter to cool before adding yeast, as this increases the chance of an infection.  Use the chilled water to reach a satisfactory temperature and add yeast immediately. 

** Try to maintain a cool, even temperature in the fermenter. Place your fermenter next to brick walls or on a cement slab. .  Use a Brewers Choice Brewing Thermostat and old fridge for optimum brewing conditions.
