It's a good mix, Ienjoyed it.1. I dipped the syrup in hot water to loosen it up. While it was doingthis I sanitized everything I was going to be using (except the 4sealed gallon jugs of water.2. I mixed the syrup with 2 liters of hot water, and stirred it up. Ithen poured half of the mix into an empty (clean) one gallon jug.3. I added half the sugar to each half of the mixed syrup. I stirredit up until it was fully mixed up.4. I divided 23 liters into all the containers I was using, and usingthat fraction, I added the same fraction of the gallon of wort to themixture, then filled it up with water. I then shook it all up.5. I mixed the yeast I had with the pack with 23 oz. of water, thenput one oz of the mix for each liter of liquid.6. For those containers which I did not use e-z-caps for, I put aballoon on top with a few pinholes poked in them. This acts as aghetto air lock.7. Let it ferment for 1 - 1 1/2 weeks, then bottle the e-z-cappedbeverages. For the others, it still needs to be carbonated, so I addedsugar to some 2 liters, then siphoned the non-carbonated beer intothere, shook it up, and capped it for about another week.8. I really enjoyed this mix, it was very hoppy, which is something Ilike. Would go GREAT with a pizza.If you have any questions, let me know.BTW, I did all of this work without a stove. I did this in a dormroom, and did not make a very big mess. Also, it is GREAT beer. Enjoy it!ORGINAL POSTER: recchiap
