¾ cup (150 g) dextrose (if priming)

Step by Step

Mash the grains at 155 °F (68 °C) for 60 minutes. Mash out, vorlauf, and then sparge at 170 °F (77 °C) to collect enough wort to result in 5 gallons (19 L) after a 90-minute boil.

Boil 90 minutes, adding hops at times indicated. Cool, aerate, and pitch yeast.

Ferment at 70 °F (21 °C). After fermentation is complete, add dry hops for 4 days and then bottle or keg as usual.

Partial mash 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 lbs. (0.91 kg) Briess extra light dried malt extract. Place the crushed grains in a large grain bag. Submerge the grains in 1 gallon (4 L) of water at 155 °F (68 °C) for 60 minutes. Remove the grain bag and place in a colander over the brewpot. Slowly wash the grains with 1 gallon (4 L) hot water. Stir in the liquid and dried malt extracts, then top off to 6 gallons (23 L). Bring wort to a boil for 60 minutes. Follow the remaining portion of the all-grain recipe.
