Method
Brewing Process
- 1
Mashing
In a large brew kettle, heat 5 gallons of water to approximately 165°F (74°C). Add 10 cups of pale malt, 1 cup of crystal malt, and 1 cup of flaked corn. Stir well and maintain the temperature for 60 minutes.

Sparging
After mashing, sparge with additional hot water to rinse sugars from the grains until you collect about 6 gallons of wort in your brew kettle.

Boiling
Bring the wort to a boil. Once boiling, add 1 oz of bittering hops and boil for 60 minutes. In the last 5 minutes of the boil, add 0.5 oz of aroma hops.

Cooling
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. Add the yeast and seal the vessel. Allow it to ferment for 1-2 weeks at a consistent temperature around 68°F (20°C).
