Preparation Steps
1
Heat the water to 158°F (70°C), then add the ground malted barley. Maintain the temperature and let it steep for 60 minutes to extract the sugars from the malt.
2
Strain the malt, and bring the resulting liquid (wort) to a boil. At the beginning of the boil, add the hops and freshly grated orange peel to give the beer a distinctive citrus flavor.
3
Boil the wort for 60 minutes, then quickly cool it to room temperature using a sterilized wort chiller.
4
Transfer the cooled wort to a fermentation vessel, and add the brewer's yeast. Seal the vessel with an airlock to allow the gases produced during fermentation to escape.
5
Allow the beer to ferment for 1-2 weeks at room temperature until fermentation is complete.
6
At the end of fermentation, add additional sugar for bottle conditioning to carbonate the beer. Fill into sterilized bottles and seal them tightly.
7
Let the bottled beer rest for another 1-2 weeks to fully carbonate. Chill before serving.
