Ladle

Remove from heat and stir in beer, then add salt in small increments to taste. Custard is well-salted when it has a distinctly sharp flavor, not just burnt sweetness. Strain into a container and chill overnight. The next day, churn according to manufacturer's instructions. Return ice cream to freezer for at least 2 hours so it can firm up.
