4. Add the two caps of Malt extract.

5. Cook and stir without covering the pot for about 20 mins.

6. After that, pour the cooked mixture to the plastic container quickly to add more air to it that makes the yeast rapidly grows. The more air gets into the mixture the better.

7. Replenish with bottled water or a boiled tap-water until you've reaches the neutral temperature of the mixture. Test the temp by using a sanitized thermometer.

8. Sprinkle in the yeast and stir well, then cover it with lid. Make sure that the lid is loosely to prevent the container from exploding because of the carbon dioxide it creates.
