- Heat water to precise temperatures (152-158°F)
- Mix grains and water in the mash tun
- Monitor temperature and pH levels
- Test sugar extraction with our equipment
Professional Tip:
The mash temperature determines your beer's body and sweetness level
Boiling & Adding Hops
⏱️ Duration: 60-90 minutes
Now comes the exciting part – the boil! You'll bring your wort (unfermented beer) to a rolling boil and add hops at precisely timed intervals to create the perfect balance of bitterness, flavor, and aroma.
What You'll Do:
- Transfer wort to our professional boil kettle
- Bring to a vigorous rolling boil
- Add bittering hops at 60 minutes
- Add flavor hops at 15 minutes

Rapid Cooling
⏱️ Duration: 30 minutes
After boiling, your wort needs to be cooled quickly to the right temperature for yeast. Our professional wort chiller makes this process efficient and contamination-free.
What You'll Do:
- Connect our professional wort chiller
- Circulate cold water through the system
- Monitor temperature drop to 65-75°F
- Transfer cooled wort to fermentation vessel
- Take gravity readings for alcohol potential
Why Speed Matters:
Rapid cooling prevents contamination and preserves hop flavors
Primary Fermentation
⏱️ Duration: 1-2 weeks
This is where your beer comes to life! We add the yeast and transfer your brew to our climate-controlled fermentation room. While you wait, the yeast works its magic, converting sugars into alcohol and CO2.
What Happens:
- Yeast is pitched at optimal temperature
- Fermentation begins within 12-24 hours
- Temperature controlled at 65-72°F
- Daily monitoring by our brewmaster
- Gravity testing to track progress
Your Role:
Relax! We handle everything while sending you updates on your brew's progress
Conditioning & Maturation
⏱️ Duration: 1-2 weeks
After primary fermentation, your beer needs time to mature and develop its full flavor profile. We transfer it to conditioning tanks where it clarifies and reaches perfection.
What Happens:
- Beer is transferred off the yeast sediment
- Secondary fermentation completes
- Flavors meld and mature
- Beer naturally clarifies
- Final gravity testing
The Waiting Game:
Good things take time - this is when your beer develops its character
