Remove from heat and let grains steep for 10 minutes. Remove the grain bag with a large strainer and rinse grains with one quart of 170 °F (77 °C) water. Add the malt extract and resume heating. Add boiling hops as soon as the boil starts. Add finishing hops with 5 minutes left in boil. Cover the kettle and let it cool for 20 minutes. Put 2.5 gallons (9.5 L) of very cold water in fermenter and transfer wort into it. Top up to 5.5 gallons (21 L). Aerate and pitch yeast. Ferment for one week at 68–72 °F (20–22 °C). Rack to secondary fermenter and add leaf hops. After another week, bottle, condition and enjoy.
