Place the grains in a muslin sack and then steep the grains in 1.5 gallons of water at 160°F (71.1°C) for 30 minutes. Take out the grains and hold them over the kettle allowing the remaining water to drip back into the kettle. Do not squeeze the grains. Squeezing the grains could result in bitter tannin extraction. Top up your brew kettle to 3 gallons and bring to a rolling boil (If possible, top up to 7.7 gallons and conduct a full boil). Stir in the malt extracts and bring kettle to a rolling boil. Boil for 30 minutes. Add 1.6 oz of Kent Goldings hops and allow to boil for 50 more minutes. Be careful when adding hops as you may encounter a boil over during the first hop addition. With 10 minutes left in the boil, add 0.5 oz of Kent Goldings. Allow the wort to cool and then pitch the yeast around 65° F (18° C). Ferment around 65° F (18° C). When fermentation is finished, carbonate the beer to approximately 2 to 2.5 volumes of CO2. A period of cold conditioning for several months will improve this beer.
