Directions:

Make any water adjustments first. It is best to
boil as much (up to 5 gallons) as your brew-pot
will hold. Be careful not to overfill or cover your
brew-pot when boiling, this will cause a boil over.p>The
use of a grain bag is highly recommended. Place
grains in grain bag, and put into 160 degree water.
Cover, turn fire off, let steep for 30 min. Remove
grain bag and bring water to a boil. Turn off the
heat (to prevent scorching), and mix in the malt
extracts and any other adjuncts. When fully dissolved,
turn the heat back on and return the wort to a rolling
boil. Add the bittering hops, continue to boil for
50 min. Add the flavoring hops, continue to boil
for 5 min. Add the finishing hops and continue to
boil for 5 more min. The use of hop socks make the
addition and removal of hops much easier.
After you have boiled your wort for a full 60 min,
remove all hops and add water to reach 5 gallons.
Cool to 75 degrees and add yeast nutrient and yeast.
Shake your fermenter vigorously for 5 min. to aerate
the wort. Remember, your yeast needs oxygen to live
and grow. Attach the blow-off hose to the fermenter
and place the other end into a container of water
to form an air-lock. Rack into secondary fermenter
after krueson has begun to subside.
