How to use my beer brewing system to make Kvass?

Kvass is a traditional Russian beverage made from rye bread, and it's a bit different from beer in terms of the brewing process. However, you can still use your beer brewing system to make Kvass with a few modifications. Here are the basic steps:
*Start by acquiring the necessary ingredients. You will need rye bread, water, yeast, and sugar. You can also add flavorings such as fruit or herbs if you like.
Toast the bread until it's golden brown, but not burnt. You can use a conventional oven or a toaster for this step. Once toasted, let the bread cool down to room temperature.

*Break the bread into small pieces and add it to your brewing system's mash tun. Add enough water to cover the bread completely, and let it sit for a few hours. This process will extract the flavor and sugars from the bread.

*Drain the liquid from the mash tun into your brew kettle. Add sugar and yeast, and bring the mixture to a boil. Boil for about 10 minutes, then remove the kettle from the heat.

*Let the mixture cool down to room temperature, then transfer it to your fermenting vessel. Add any flavorings at this point if desired.

*Cover the fermenting vessel and let it sit at room temperature for 1-2 days. This will allow the yeast to convert the sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide.
Once the Kvass has fermented, you can bottle it in sanitized bottles and let it carbonate for a few days. Kvass is traditionally served chilled, and you can adjust the sweetness and carbonation levels to your liking.

*Keep in mind that the specific details of the brewing process may vary depending on your equipment and personal preferences. But by following these basic steps, you can use your beer brewing system to make delicious homemade Kvass.
