Homemade Ale

This seems to be a very simple recipe for making beer. It takes about 4 weeks total until it's ready. Some reviewers (although they have not made 'this' recipe, have offered some very helpful tips and is worth reading). Put here for safe-keeping.

• Ready In: 1 hr 10 mins
• Yields: 3 gallons

Ingredients

• 1 (12 ounce) can  light  malt syrup (guessing size of can here)
• 1⁄2 gallon water
• 1⁄2 ounce  hop
• 2  gallons water
• 1 (1/4ounce) package dry yeast

Directions

1. In a large, non-reactive stock pot, add malt syrup and water. Add hops. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and boil for 1 hour, stirring often.
2. Cool then strain the hop mixture through a funnel, into a sterilized 7 gallon fermenting tank NOTE: I don't know what a fermenting tank is, but I would guess a ceramic or glass jug (like a milk jug) with a cork or rubber seal.
3. Add the water and yeast. Seal the top with a stopper. Ferment for 1 1/2 weeks.
4. Strain the beer. Bottle and age for another 2 to 3 weeks.
