Add the hops per the ingredients list. Add the cane sugar with 20 minutes left in the boil. After turning off heat, add the Amarillo® hops and give the wort a stir. Let sit for 10 minutes or so before chilling the wort to 70 °F (21 °C) and pitching the yeast. Ferment at 70 °F (21 °C) until primary fermentation is complete.
