Brewing Process
- 1
Mashing
Heat water and steep the grains.

In a large brew kettle, heat 5 gallons of water to about 160°F (71°C). Add the Pale Malt, Crystal Malt, and Caramel Malt to the water.

Maintain the temperature between 150°F and 155°F (65°C and 68°C) for 60 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Sparging
Extract sugars from the grains.

After mashing, remove the grains and sparge with hot water (around 170°F or 77°C) to collect about 6.5 gallons of wort.

Bring the wort to a boil and add 1 oz of Hallertau hops. Boil for 60 minutes.

Cooling and Fermentation
Cool the wort and pitch the yeast.

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

Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermentation vessel and pitch the yeast.

Bottling
Bottle the beer and carbonate.
