Ingredients
Grains
Hops
Yeast
Adjuncts
Water
Preparation
1. Mash the Grains
In a large brew kettle, heat 6 liters of water to 150°F (65°C). Add the pale malt, caramel malt, and pilsner malt to the water and stir well. Maintain the temperature for 60 minutes.
2. Sparging
After the mash, sparge the grains with hot water to collect the wort, aiming for about 5 liters.
3. Boil the Wort
Bring the collected wort to a boil. Once boiling, add the Citra hops and boil for 30 minutes. Then add the Mosaic hops and continue boiling for another 15 minutes.
Fermentation
4. Cool the Wort
After the boil, cool the wort quickly using a wort chiller or an ice bath until it reaches about 70°F (21°C).
5. Pitch the Yeast
Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermentation vessel. Sprinkle the American Ale yeast over the wort and seal the vessel.
6. Ferment
Allow the beer to ferment at room temperature (around 68-72°F or 20-22°C) for about 1-2 weeks or until fermentation is complete.
Add Adjuncts and Carbonate
7. Add Fruit Punch Juice and Lactose
Once fermentation is complete, gently stir in the fruit punch juice and lactose into the fermented beer.
