Method
Brewing Instructions
- 1
Mashing
In a large brew kettle, heat 5 gallons of water to about 165°F (74°C). Add the Pale Malt and Crystal Malt, stirring well. Maintain the temperature at about 152°F (67°C) for 60 minutes.

Sparging
After mashing, sparge the grains with hot water to collect the wort. Aim for a final volume of about 5 gallons.

Boiling
Bring the wort to a boil. Once boiling, add Cascade hops and boil for 60 minutes. Add Citra hops with 15 minutes remaining, and Amarillo hops in the last 5 minutes.

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

Fermentation
Transfer the cooled wort to a sanitized fermenter. Pitch the yeast and seal the fermenter with an airlock. Allow it to ferment for about 1-2 weeks at around 68-72°F (20-22°C).

Bottling
Once fermentation is complete, dissolve the priming sugar in a small amount of boiling water and add it to the bottling bucket. Transfer the beer to the bottling bucket and bottle the beer. Cap the bottles.
