Preparation

Brewing Instructions

1. Mashing

Begin by heating 5 gallons of water to 165°F (74°C). Add the pale malt and crystal malt to the heated water, maintaining a temperature of 152°F (67°C) for 60 minutes.

2. Sparging

After mashing, sparge the grains with hot water to collect around 6 gallons of wort.

3. Boiling

Bring the wort to a boil. Add Cascade hops at the start of the boil and boil for 60 minutes. Add Simcoe hops with 15 minutes remaining and Citra hops in the last 5 minutes.

4. Cooling

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

5. Fermentation

Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermenter and pitch the yeast. Seal the fermenter and allow it to ferment for about 2 weeks at 68°F (20°C).

6. Bottling

After fermentation, dissolve the priming sugar in a small amount of water and add it to the fermenter. Bottle the beer and cap it. Let it condition for another 2 weeks.

7. Enjoy

Chill the bottles and enjoy your homemade Maine Beer Co, Lunch IPA!
