8. At end of boil, cool off wort as fast as possible by using a submersion chiller, or by putting the pot in cold water.
9. Once the wort reaches below 100 degrees, put it in a 5-6 gallon carboy and add water to fill it to 5 gallons.
10. Add the yeast (make sure it was started if it was dry).
11. Attach an airlock to the carboy and wait 6 days.
12. After 6 days, filter the beer into another carboy (or the same one if you have a bucket to put it in temporarily).
13. Keep it in the second carboy for 17 days (secondary fermentation).
14. After 17 days, add 3/4 cup dextrose (corn sugar) to the beer and put it in bottles.
