Step by Step

In your brewpot, heat 7.66 qts. (7.2 L) of water to 165 °F (74 °C). Place crushed grains in a steeping bag and steep 154 °F (68 °C) for 45 minutes. Check temperature every 10 minutes and heat steeping water to 159 °F (71 °C) if it falls below 154 °F (68 °C).  Heat 5.75 qts. (5.4 L) of rinse water to 170 °Ï (77 °C) in a separate pot. Rinse grains and heat “grain tea” (wort) — of which you’ll have about 12.6 qts. (12.0 L) — to a boil. Add dried malt extract and  hops and boil for 60 minutes. Add liquid malt extract with 15 minutes remaining. Cool wort, transfer to fermenter and top up to 5 gallons (19 L). Aerate wort and pitch yeast. Ferment at 66 °F (19 °C). Add vanilla beans (sliced down center) and oak cubes in secondary.
