Method
Brewing Directions
- 1
Mashing
In a large mash tun, heat 10 liters of water to approximately 165°F (74°C). Add the Pale Malt and Crystal Malt, stirring well. Maintain the temperature at around 152°F (67°C) for 60 minutes.

Sparging
After mashing, sparge the grains with hot water until you collect about 12 liters of wort in your brew kettle.

Boiling
Bring the wort to a boil. Once boiling, add 1 cup of Cascade hops and boil for 60 minutes. In the last 10 minutes of the boil, add the remaining Cascade hops and Citra hops.

Cooling
After the boil, 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 fermentation vessel and pitch the yeast. Seal with an airlock and ferment for about 1-2 weeks at around 68°F (20°C).

Bottling
Once fermentation is complete, dissolve the priming sugar in a small amount of boiling water and add it to the beer before bottling. Bottle your beer and cap securely.

Allow the bottles to condition at room temperature for about 1-2 weeks. After conditioning, refrigerate and enjoy your Sierra Nevada Sidecar Pale Ale!
