Method
- Sanitize all equipment that will come in contact with your beer.
- Fill your brewing kettle with about 3 gallons of water and heat it to around 165°F (73°C).
- Add the crushed grains to the kettle, stirring well and maintain the temperature at around 150°F (65°C) for about 60 minutes.
- Rinse the grains with about 3 gallons of hot water to extract remaining sugars.
- Bring the wort to a boil and add the bittering hops. Boil for 60 minutes.
- Add the aroma hops five minutes before the end of the boil.
- Cool the wort quickly using an immersion chiller or an ice bath.
- Transfer the cooled wort into a sanitized fermentation vessel and pitch the yeast.
- Seal with an airlock and store in a cool, dark place for about two weeks.
