Step by Step

Begin by heating 2.25 gallons (8.5 L) of water in your brewpot. Steep the specialty grains at 154 °F (68 °F) in 0.75 gallons (2.8 L) of water in a separate pot. After steeping for 30–45 minutes, remove bag and let drip dry. Add “grain tea” and dried malt extract to brewpot and bring to a boil. Add hops and Irish moss as indicated. With 15 minutes left in the boil, stir in liquid malt extract. (Stir thoroughly to avoid scorching.) After boil, cool wort and siphon to fermenter. Add water to make 5 gallons (19 L), aerate and pitch yeast. Ferment at 69.5 °F (20.5 °C).
