Brewing Directions
Mashing
In a large brew kettle, heat 6 liters of water to 65°C (149°F). Add the pale malt and wheat malt, stirring well. Maintain the temperature for 60 minutes.
Lautering
After mashing, sparge the grains with additional water to collect 6 liters of wort.
Boiling
Bring the wort to a boil. Add the hops and boil for 60 minutes.
Cooling
After boiling, cool the wort quickly using a wort chiller or an ice bath.
Fermentation

Bottling
After fermentation is complete, dissolve the priming sugar in a small amount of boiling water and add it to the beer. Bottle the beer and cap.
