Ingredients
7 lbs. (3.2 kg) pale ale malt
5 lbs. (2.27 kg) wheat malt
3 lbs. (1.36 kg) rice malt
8 oz. (224 g) chocolate wheat malt
4 oz. (112 g) Carawheat® malt
27.7 AAU Warrior® hop pellets (20 min.) (1.66 oz./47 g at 16.7% alpha acids)

14.2 AAU Warrior® hop pellets (0 min.) (0.85 oz./23.8 g at 16.7% alpha acids)
0.4 oz. (11.8 g) Ahtanum® hop pellets (dry hop)
3⁄4 tsp. yeast nutrient (10 min.)
Safale US-05 or White Labs WLP001 (California Ale) yeast
3⁄4 cup corn sugar (if priming)

Step by step
This is a single infusion mash. On brew day, crush all of your grains. The rice malt will need to be crushed separately on a wider setting so it is not pulverized to dust.

Mash the crushed grains at 1.5 quarts-to-1 pound ratio of strike water (3.1 L/kg) at 152 °F (67 °C) for 45 minutes. Vorlauf until wort runs clear. Sparge with enough water to collect about 6 gallons (23 L) of wort in the kettle.

Boil for 45 minutes, adding the hops and yeast nutrients as per the recipe. When boil is complete, remove kettle from the burner and add the 0-minute hop addition. Stir to create a whirlpool and cover kettle for 20 minutes befor chilling to yeast-pitching temperature.

Rack to fermenting vessel, aerate,  pitch yeast, and ferment at 66 °F (19 °C). Add dry hops after 18 days. Bottle after 21 days.

Step by step
Heat 2 gallons (7.6 L) of water to 158 °F (70 °C), remove from heat source and put milled and bagged specialty grains in to steep. After 30 minutes, remove the specialty grains and rinse with warm water.

Thoroughly stir in 5 lbs. (2.27 kg) wheat DME and add enough water to give a pre-boil volume of about 6 gallons (23 L). Return to heat source and bring to a boil. Total boil time is 30 minutes, adding hops and yeast nutrient as indicated.

When the boil is complete, remove the kettle from the heat source and thoroughly stir in the late addition malt wheat and rice extracts and add flameout hops. Conduct a 20-minute whirlpool. Cool wort to yeast-pitching temperature as quickly as possible. 

Follow the remainder of the all-grain recipe.
