Water Ingredients

Preparation

Mashing

1. Prepare the Mash

In a large brew kettle, heat 5 gallons of water to approximately 165°F (74°C). Add the pale malt, caramel malt, and crystal malt, stirring well to ensure all grains are submerged.

2. Mash Rest

Maintain the mash temperature at around 152°F (67°C) for 60 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even temperature distribution.

Boiling

3. Boil the Wort

After the mash rest, raise the temperature and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. This should take about 15-20 minutes.

4. Add Hops

Once boiling, add 1 oz of Cascade hops. Boil for 60 minutes, adding the remaining hops at the following intervals: 30 minutes before the end of the boil, add 0.5 oz of Citra hops, and 15 minutes before the end, add 0.5 oz of Chinook hops.

Cooling and Fermentation

5. Cool the Wort

After the boil, cool the wort quickly using a wort chiller or an ice bath until it reaches approximately 70°F (21°C).

6. Ferment

Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermentation vessel. Add the American ale yeast and seal the vessel with an airlock. Allow it to ferment in a dark, cool place for about 1-2 weeks.

Bottling

7. Bottle the Beer

Once fermentation is complete, sanitize your bottles and caps. Transfer the beer into the bottles, leaving about an inch of headspace at the top. Cap the bottles securely.

8. Carbonation

Store the bottles at room temperature for 1-2 weeks to allow carbonation to occur. After that, chill the beer in the fridge before serving.
