Step by Step

This is a single infusion mash. Mix the crushed grain with 3.5 gallons (13.2 L) of 170 °F (77° C) water to stabilize at 152 °F (67 °C) for 60 minutes. Sparge slowly with 175 °F (79 °C) water.

Collect approximately 6 gallons (23 L) of wort runoff to boil for 60 minutes. Add hops and Irish moss at times indicated.

Cool, aerate, and pitch yeast. Ferment at 68 °F (20 °C). After fermentation is complete, bottle or keg as usual.

Extract with grains option: Substitute the 2-row pale malt in the all-grain recipe with 3.3 lbs. (1.5 kg) Briess light liquid malt extract and 2.5 lb. (1.13 kg.) light dried malt extract, and decrease both crystal malts by 2 oz. (57 g). Steep the crushed grain in 5 gallons (19 L) of water at 152 °F (67 °C) for 30 minutes. Remove grains from the wort and rinse with 1 quarts (1 L) of 175 °F (79 °C) water. Add malt extracts and bring to a boil. Follow the remaining portion of the all-grain recipe.
