Notes

These Instructions are ALMOST universal for all extract brewing.

In 2 Gallons Water steep grains @ 152 Degrees F for 60 mins.
(it's easier with a grain bag)
using a Colander rinse grains with hottest tap water you got into the mash container til it runs clear.
Dissolve the LME OR DME and Other Sugar(s) you may be adding in the hot wort and bring to a full boil.
boil for 90 mins. (a tradition boil is 60 mins)
once boiling hop according to schedule.
Bittering hops first @ 90 or 60 mins
Flavoring hops Second Usually @ 45-30 mins
Aroma hops @ 20-15 mins
Irish moss @ 15 mins
Cool wort to 75-80 Degrees F.
re-hydrate yeast in 1/4 cup water @ 90 Degrees wait 20 mins then stir and wait 20 mins again or til foamy.
pitch yeast in Cooled wort and aerate.
top off with cool clean water to 4 Gallons or so in a carboy and water Lock it then wait a week or til bubbles are less than one every 30 secs.
rack to secondary Carboy (Leaving the First Sedimentary Cake Called a trub in the first Carboy) for one more week for Clarification.
Siphon to bottle bucket (Leaving the secondary trub) and pitch 3/4 Cup dextrose dissolved in BOILED tap water and cooled to ambient temp.
keg or bottle! if bottling wait a couple weeks then crack one open and have a taste!
Merry brewing!
