Additional Ingredients
Mashing
1. Prepare the Mash
Heat 5 gallons of water to around 165°F (74°C). Add the crushed Pale Malt, Caramel Malt, and Crystal Malt to the water and stir well. Maintain the temperature around 150-155°F (65-68°C) for 60 minutes to allow the sugars to extract from the grains.
2. Sparging
After mashing, drain the wort from the grains and rinse them with an additional 170°F (77°C) water until you collect about 6.5 gallons of wort.
Boiling
3. Boil the Wort
Bring the wort to a boil in a large pot. Once boiling, add the Citra Hops and boil for 60 minutes.
4. Add Hops
At the 15-minute mark, add the Simcoe Hops, Amarillo Hops, and Cascade Hops for flavor and aroma.
Fermentation
5. Cool the Wort
After the boil, cool the wort quickly to 70°F (21°C) using a wort chiller or an ice bath.
6. Pitch the Yeast
Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermentation vessel. Sprinkle the American Ale Yeast on top of the wort and seal the vessel with an airlock.
Bottling
7. Prepare Bottling Solution
Dissolve the Priming Sugar in 2 cups of boiling water. Let it cool, then add it to the beer before bottling.
