Dallas Blonde Ingredients
Method
Brewing Directions
- 1
Mashing
In a large brew kettle, heat 3 gallons of water to 165°F (74°C). Add the pale malt, flaked corn, and crystal malt. Stir well and hold the temperature at 152°F (67°C) for 60 minutes.

Sparging
After mashing, sparge with 2 gallons of water at 170°F (77°C) to collect the wort.

Boiling
Bring the wort to a boil and add the Cascade hops. Boil for 60 minutes, adding the Citra hops in the last 15 minutes of the boil.

Cooling
Cool the wort quickly using a wort chiller or an ice bath until it reaches about 70°F (21°C).
- 5
Fermentation
Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermentation vessel and pitch the yeast. Seal the vessel with an airlock and let it ferment in a dark, cool place for about 1-2 weeks.

Bottling
Once fermentation is complete, mix the priming sugar with a small amount of water and boil to dissolve. Add this mixture to the beer and bottle it in sanitized bottles. Cap the bottles.

Conditioning
