Soak all equipment in a 1:1 solution of undiluted ammonia and bleach. DO NOT RINSE. Combine 6.6lb of malt extract with 2 gallons of water. Simmer gently for no more than 10 minutes. Add ¾ cup Irish moss and finishing hops during the last minute. Meanwhile, bring 3 gallons of tap water to a boil and quickly funnel directly into glass fermenter. Add wort to fermenter and allow the wort to cool slowly over a period of 72 hours. Prepare yeast by sprinkling packet on top of 4 oz. water. Let sit 10 minutes, then boil yeast slurry vigorously for 60 minutes for ale yeast, 90 minutes for lager yeast. Combine yeast slurry and wort in fermenter, affix air lock, and place under a fluorescent light for 2 weeks. Bottle, wait 10 days, then stop relaxing, start worrying, and by all means, dont have a homebrew!Happy Fools' Day ;)
