Pouches Pellet Hops Northern Brewer Fermentis Safbrew WB-06 Yeast Priming Sugar is NOT Included Beer Stats: OG: 1.039 SRM: 4 IBUs: 16 ABV: 3.9% Fermentation Requirements Fermenter: Use a clean, sanitized fermenter with enough headspace for a healthy 5 gallon fermentation. Temperature control: Keep fermentation steady and follow the yeast or instruction-sheet temperature guidance for the cleanest result. Packaging: Confirm fermentation is complete before bottling or kegging, then package carefully to avoid oxygen pickup. Brewing Notes for Best Results Steep specialty grains gently: Hold the steeping range steady and avoid squeezing the grain bag hard, which can pull extra tannin into the wort. Add extract carefully: Remove the kettle from direct heat while stirring in malt extract so it dissolves cleanly without scorching on the bottom of the kettle. Ferment cleanly: Stable fermentation temperature matters as much as the ingredient bill. Keep the fermenter in the yeast’s recommended range for a cleaner, more predictable beer. Package with care: Confirm final gravity is stable before bottling or kegging, then minimize splashing and oxygen exposure to protect malt and hop character.
