To authorize Brewit to connect to the host, add the public keys from step two on a new line in /home/brewit/.ssh/authorized_keys.
# Login as root
sudo su

# Create the authorized_keys file if it does not exist yet
mkdir -p /home/brewit/.ssh
touch /home/brewit/.ssh/authorized_keys

# Use your favorite editor to add Brewit's public key to the file
vim /home/brewit/.ssh/authorized_keys

# Set permissions on the authorized_keys file
chmod 644 /home/brewit/.ssh/authorized_keys
