Heat 3 gallons of filtered water to 165°F. Add the crushed grains and maintain the temperature at around 150°F for 60 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Mashing Grains

After mashing, sparge with 2 gallons of hot water (170°F) to rinse the grains and collect the wort in your brew kettle.

Sparging

Bring the wort to a boil and add the Hallertau hops. Boil for 60 minutes, adding Saaz hops in the last 10 minutes of the boil.

Boil the Wort

Cool the wort quickly to 65°F using an immersion chiller. Transfer to a sanitized fermenter, pitch the yeast, and seal with an airlock. Ferment at 50-55°F for 2-3 weeks.

Cooling and Fermentation

After fermentation is complete, dissolve priming sugar in 2 cups of water and boil for 5 minutes. Cool and add to the fermented beer before bottling. Bottle and cap the beer, let it carbonate at room temperature for 1-2 weeks.
