Base Ingredients

Yeast

Priming Sugar

Method

Mashing

  1. 1

    Mash the Grains

    In a large pot, combine the pale malt, crystal malt, and roasted barley. Add 6 liters of water and heat the mixture to 65-70°C (149-158°F). Maintain this temperature for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Boiling

  1. 2

    Boil the Wort

    After mashing, remove the grains by straining the mixture into another pot. Bring the liquid (wort) to a boil. Once boiling, add the Cascade hops and boil for 60 minutes.

  2. 3

    Add Centennial Hops

    With 15 minutes remaining in the boil, add the Centennial hops to the wort.

Cooling & Fermentation

  1. 4

    Cool the Wort

    After the boil is complete, cool the wort quickly using an immersion chiller or by placing the pot in an ice bath until it reaches room temperature.

  2. 5

    Pitch the Yeast

    Once cooled, transfer the wort to a sanitized fermentation vessel and pitch the ale yeast. Seal the vessel with an airlock.

Bottling

  1. 6

    Prepare for Bottling

    After fermentation (about 1-2 weeks), dissolve 3 oz of corn sugar in 2 cups of boiling water to create a priming solution.

  2. 7

    Bottle the Beer

    Add the priming solution to the fermented beer, then transfer the beer into sanitized bottles. Cap the bottles and allow them to carbonate for another 1-2 weeks.
