(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain) OG = 1.050 FG = 1.013 IBU = 52 SRM = 8  ABV = 4.9% Ingredients 9.75 lbs. (4.4 kg.) Briess 2-row pale malt 0.8 lbs. (0.36 kg) crystal malt (40 °L) 11.5 AAU Centennial hops (90 min.) (1 oz./28 g at 11.5% alpha acids) 8 AAU Mt. Hood hops (10 min.) (2 oz./56 g at 4% alpha acids) 1 oz. (28 g) Willamette hops (dry hop) 1 oz. (28 g) East Kent Goldings (dry hop) Wyeast 1098 (British Ale) or White Labs WLP006 (Bedford Ale) yeast 1 cup corn sugar (if priming) Step by Step Use a single-step infusion mash at 153–155 °F (67–68 °C) for 1–1.5 hours. Sparge one hour, with water no hotter than 175 °F (79 °C), until run-off reaches SG 1.010–1.012. Boil 90 minutes, with bittering hops added after the first foamy head subsides. Add flavor hops 10 minutes before the end of the boil. Adjust wort volume with cold water, and cool to about 70 °F (21 °C). Pitch with yeast starter, and allow to ferment. By 5–7 days, final gravity should have been reached; if so, rack into a glass fermenter. One to two weeks later, rack again, prime with corn sugar and package in keg or bottles. The beer should be ready to drink after conditioning for a week or so. Add the dry hops (if any), preferably to the primary fermenter or else to the keg. In either case, the hops should be placed in a sterilized muslin bag, with a sterilized weight attached.
