Method
Brewing Instructions
- 1
Mashing
In a large mash tun, add the pale malt, pilsner malt, and caramel malt. Heat 5 gallons of water to 165°F (74°C) and pour it over the grains. Stir well and maintain the temperature at 150-155°F (65-68°C) for 60 minutes.
- 2
Sparging
After mashing, sparge the grains with hot water (around 170°F or 77°C) to collect around 6 gallons of wort.
- 3
Boiling
Bring the wort to a boil. Add the Hallertau hops at the beginning of the boil and the Saaz hops with 15 minutes left in the boil. Boil for a total of 60 minutes.

Cooling
After boiling, cool the wort quickly using a wort chiller or an ice bath until it reaches about 70°F (21°C).
- 5
Fermentation
Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermentation vessel and pitch the yeast. Seal the vessel and allow it to ferment at around 50-55°F (10-13°C) for 2-3 weeks.

Bottling
Once fermentation is complete, siphon the beer into sanitized bottles and cap them. Allow to carbonate for 1-2 weeks at room temperature.
