Brewing Instructions
- 1
Mashing
In a large brew kettle, heat 3 gallons of water to approximately 165°F (74°C). Add the Pale Malt and Crystal Malt, stirring to ensure all grains are wet. Maintain the temperature around 150°F (65°C) for 60 minutes.

Sparging
After mashing, sparge with an additional 2 gallons of hot water to rinse the grains and extract sugars. Collect the wort in the brew kettle.

Boiling
Bring the wort to a boil and add the Cascade hops. Boil for 60 minutes, adding the Centennial hops with 15 minutes left in the boil.

Cooling
After the boil, cool the wort quickly using a wort chiller or an ice bath until it reaches around 70°F (21°C).
