This was a crazy-tasty beer. Simple and quick for the beginner but a truly delicious beer. I found that my friends and family all loved it from the beer-snobs to the light beer drinkers. A real crowd pleaser!

Basic Guidelines:
Steep the crushed grains in 1.5 gallons of 160°F water for 30 minutes. Remove and sparge into the boil kettle. With the heat off, add all extracts and sugars to the kettle and stir to dissolve completely. Carefully bring to a boil, stirring to avoid scorching and watching for boil-overs. Once a rolling boil has been achieved, add hops according to the schedule and any other additives when listed. After the boil is complete, remove from heat and begin to cool; an ice bath or a wort chiller help to bring the temperature down quickly. When the wort is cool, add it to a clean and sanitized fermentor. Add water until the volume is 5 gallons if necessary. Once the wort has dropped to below 80°F, aerate well (don't forget to take a hydrometer reading) and pitch the yeast. (also consider Wyeast 1056 American Ale, 1450 Denny's Favorite Ale Yeast or Dry Fermentis Safale US 05) Add 1 oz Dry Hop Mosaic Attach a blow-off tube and ferment at desired temperature for the yeast strain. Rack to a secondary fermentor when krausen has receded and beer begins to clear. After fermentation and conditioning are complete, bottle or keg your beer. Allow to condition again and enjoy!
