  • INDIA PALE ALE Them in a Sanitizing Solution
    TRUE BREWTM INGREDIENT KIT Prepare your Bottles and Caps: Clean and sanitize the bottles by either soaking the bottles in a chemical sanitizing solution or running the bottles through a dishwasher cycle without any detergent or rinsing agent. This will only work with a dishwasher that has a heat/dry cycle. Sanitize the caps by soaking INDIA PALE ALE them in a sanitizing solution. The Captain’s brew. This India Pale Ale is rich in body with a deep copper color and a healthy dose of hops. Includes oak chips for a “historical” barrel-aged finish. Truly a delight Prepare your Equipment: worth the voyage across the high seas. You will need a bottling bucket with the spigot, a hose, bottle capper and a bottle filler to conduct your bottle filling. Make sure to clean and sanitize all equipment before it comes in contact with the beer! Priming Solution: Add the priming sugar to 1 pint of boiling water and stir until dissolved, now “the priming solution”. Allow the priming solution to cool to roughly 75°F. Pour the mixture into the O.G: 1.050-1.052 READY: 2-4 Weeks F.G: bottling bucket. Using racking tubes or an auto-siphon, transfer the beer from the fermenter into the sanitized bottling bucket.

  • Borefts Bier Festival 2012
    Borefts Bier Festival 2012 September 28th and 29th Official Festival Program Page 1 of 27 Welcome Welcome at our 4th Borefts Beer Festival! Like last year we are having the festival at 2 locations. The first location is our beautiful historic Windmill. Both inside and outside you can find some wonderful brewers. The rest of the great brewers can be found on our second location at the new brewery. Both in and outside as well. So again there's no escaping in visiting both sites. The second location is just down the road. In total 15 breweries are attending this year representing 10 countries. We have over 140 beers that go from easy going session ales to powerful and complex. From very sweet to very sour. From refreshing light bitter to harsh and spicy. We will keep this introduction short because we know you won't read it anyway. Too much beers to try out there! Brouwerij de Molen and friends. Page 2 of 27 Beer & Food You can get all kinds of snacks during the day and in the late afternoon and evening there are meals available. Food is only available inside and in front of the old mill. Water At the entrance you received a bottle of water with your glass and tokens. During the festival we advise you to drink (also) plenty of water. This does not only prevent you from dehydration but it also cleans your taste-buds. Wine and sodas Not interested in the wonderful beers? Or are you the one that needs to drive after the festival? There's a bar where you can get a glass of wine, cola or other sodas.
