Steep crushed specialty grains in 1.5 qts. (~1.5 L) for 30 minutes. Remove grains and add water to brewpot to make 3–4 gallons (11–15 L) of liquid. Bring this liquid to a boil, shut off heat and add malt extracts. Stir well. Bring to a boil again, adding Chinook hops when foam subsides. Boil for 60 minutes. Add Cascade hops with 1 minute left in boil. Cool wort and transfer to fermenter. Aerate wort and pitch yeast. Let ferment for 5–7 days at 68–72 °F (20–22 °C).
