Simply Brewing® 3 Hour Recipe Kits contain all the ingredients for new and experienced brewers to easily brew 5 gallons of beer in a simple, 3-hour brewday with the use of a 3 Hour Equipment Kit and any 5+ gallon stovetop pot. The brew process involves dissolving malt extract into heated water, steeping bags of milled grain (if applicable), boiling and/or steeping bags of hop pellets, and cooling the wort (unfermented beer) in a sink to be added to your fermentation vessel. The wort is then topped off with chilled water for an even faster cool, and the yeast is added. All this including cleanup takes just 3 hours!
