step 2: 5lb 2 row malt (6row or nay base malt works)
1lb crystl malt (or any pilsner style malt)
1lb flaked rye
wrap in cheese cloth for a process called sparging
in this process you will submerge the malt to dissolve the sugars out of the grain this is done at an exact temeprture to achieve good results and proper foam on the head of the beer
sparge the cheescloth sack full of grains at 180 degrees fahrenheit for 60 minutes
batch sparge until volume of 5 gallons is reached
(batch sparging is a process of using the same bag for multiple batchs)
