Brewing Process
- 1
Prepare the Mash
In a large brew kettle, heat 5 gallons of water to about 165°F (74°C). Add the pale malt and corn, stirring well to ensure there are no clumps. Maintain the temperature for about 60 minutes.

Sparging
After the mash is complete, drain the wort into another kettle, then rinse the grains with hot water (about 170°F/77°C) to extract additional sugars. Collect around 6-7 gallons of wort.

Boil the Wort
Bring the wort to a boil and add the hops. Boil for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally. After 60 minutes, remove from heat.

Cool the Wort
Cool the wort quickly using a wort chiller or an ice bath until it reaches about 70°F (21°C).

Fermentation
Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermentation vessel and pitch the yeast. Seal the vessel with an airlock and let it ferment at a cool temperature (around 50-55°F/10-13°C) for about 2 weeks.

Bottling
After fermentation is complete, dissolve the priming sugar in a small amount of boiling water and add to the beer. Bottle the beer, cap, and let it condition for another 1-2 weeks.
