Notes: 1. Sanitation : It is important to thoroughly clean and sanitize all of your brewing equipment.
2. Making the Wort : Begin by heating 2.5 gallons of water in your Brew Pot. While the water is heating, place your
"Specialty Grains", which should be crushed, into a "Grain Bag". Tie a knot at one end of the "Grain
Bag" leaving room for the grains to be loose in the bag. When the water reaches a temperature of
150° to 160°F (max temp.), place the "Grain Bag" into your Brew Pot. Steep your grains at this temperature
for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the "Grain Bag" from the pot. Do not squeeze the bag,
just let the liquid drain from the bag into the pot. The water is now "Wort" at this point.
3. Boiling the Wort : Bring the "Wort" to a boil. It should be a rolling boil, be careful to avoid a "Boil Over". Remove the
"Wort" from the heat. Add all of the included "Fermentables" to the "Wort". Stir the "Fermentables"
into the "Wort" until it has all dissolved, making sure none of it is sitting on the bottom of the pot.
Return the Brew Pot to heat and return the "Wort" to a boil. .
4. Boil Hops : If using "Hop Bags", put the Boil Hops into a "Hop Bag" and tie loosely at one end. Add these to the
boiling "Wort". You have now added the Bittering Hops. Continue to Boil this for 60 minutes.
5. Boil Termination : After 60 minutes, remove heat source from the Brew Pot. Now it is time to cool the "Wort" to 70°F.
This can be accomplished by using a "Wort Chiller".
6. Add Water : Siphon your cooled "Wort" from the brew pot into your fermenter. Be careful not to transfer heavy
sediment from the brew pot into the fermenter. Add enough water to bring the Wort to 5 gallons.
Stir the 5 gallons of "Wort". At this time, take a Hydrometer reading to record the Original Gravity.
7. Begin Fermentation: Add the yeast to the "Wort" surface. Firmly secure your fermenter lid and add the airlock. The ideal
temperature for fermentation is 64°- 72°F. The "Wort" will begin to ferment within 24 hours.
When fermentation is complete, take another hydrometer to record the Final Gravity.
8. Secondary Clean and sanitize a secondary fermenter. Rack your beer into the fermenter and leave for one
Fermentation : week. If using single stage fermentation, leave beer in the primary fermenter for another week.

JDFlow from HBT:
I've brewed two Witbiers with grapefruit. Add the fruit in secondary. Use two large grapefruits for 5 gallons, 3 if you want the flavor to be in the forefront. Zest both grapefruits, you want as little pith (the white membrane under the zest) as possible. Pith is very bitter and it will come through badly in your beer. Put the zest in a pan and juice both grapefruits on top of it. Then boil the zest in the juice until you have a syrup. Put the syrup and zest in the bottom of your secondary. Rack your beer onto it and leave it for at least one week. Amazing results.

Notes: Tasting notes: Beer is only 7 days old, might been too young. Lots of sulfur on the nose. Medium body. Head is persistent. Slight astringency or bitterness that lingers. Has reduced since first tasting but still present. Might be related to the bitter orange peel. Too much? Too finely ground?

Rating: 3/5 (will re-assess after allowing to age)

Notes: A variation on our extremely popular Kölsch recipe with the addition of honey and a new yeast strain for a lighter body and flavor. Like our original Kölsch kit, this recipe features a pale color, light body, and smooth mouthfeel. Honey adds subtle floral character and lightens the body by fermenting to dryness. Really nice as a summer brew for barbecues and picnics, or to wean your friends off watery mass-produced lagers.

-Honey goes in at flameout
-1-2 weeks in primary
-2 weeks in cold secondary

Notes: After mash, draw off 2 qts first runnings and boil down to 1 qt to carmelize for flavor and color. Normal sparge calls for 5.92 qts- add 1 qt extra (so dunk sparge with 6.92 qts) to make up for this loss.

Look for local examples of crystal malt, or maybe toast my own malt?
What is style profile of California common? can toasted malt work?
Maybe here i should do a false decoction? Would be a good place i think
