Notes

Add Cracked grains to steeping bag in 2 gals of cold water and bring up to 150F. Steep for 15 minutes, remove bag without squeezing.

Bring water up to a boil and add liquid malt and dry malt. Boil for 5 minutes before adding Columbus hops. Boil for 40 minutes then add the Mount Hood hops. Boil for 20 minutes then cover and begin cooling. Once wort hits 190F, add the Cascade hops.

Add 2 gallons of cold water to fermenter, remove hops bag from boil pot and rinse with 2 gallons of cold water. Add wort to fermenter to bring total volume to 5 gallons. Cool to 70 F, aerate, then add Amylase Enzyme and yeast.

Ferment at 65-70F for 1 week before transferring to secondary. Clear, then bottle. Prime with 3/4 cup of corn sugar.
