### Instructions:
1. Sanitize:
Sanitize all items that will come in contact with the beer with Star San, One Step, or similar.

Fill the iGulu keg with filtered water up to the 116oz fill line. Then without stirring, add 1lb of Briess Light DME, 1/3 packet of Safale 04 dry yeast, and 1oz of Citra hops – in a sanitized mesh bag. Note: More hops can be added to your preferences.
3. Seal & Prep:
Ensure that the lid and tube attachments are properly sanitized, then seal the lid to the keg. Attach the locking ring and place the keg into the iGulu unit. Attach all fittings, to prepare for brewing.

On the iGulu F1 unit, select the 2-step fermentation setting and tap on “Brew”.
You’re done! iGulu will start the process and complete in around 14 days.
5. Pour:
Before serving, turn off the CO2 gas lever on the back of the iGulu F1 unit and purge the iGulu keg to reduce foam when dispensing. Unclamp the dispensing tube and start your pour. Enjoy!
