Notes

Add 1lb of your Wheat Dry Malt Extract. Steep speciality grains from 150-160F for 20 minutes.
Remove grain bag, start the boil.
Once boil starts, add 1/2 oz of Mt. Hood Hop Pellets.
After 50 minutes (last 10 minutes of boil), add late addition fermentables.
Stop the boil at 60 minutes. Whirlpool your spices.
Start diluting your wort with cold water, once at 170 F, hop stand your aroma hops for 15 minutes. After it's done give your wort a stir to disperse the oils.
Cool the wort with an ice bath and top off with refrigerated water in the fermenter until it reaches a pitchable temperature.
Pitch your yeast.
Ferment for about 3 weeks before even checking your first gravity. Once fermentation is finished, bottle your beer and age it for a few months for best results. I recommend starting this beer in August-September.

The goal of this beer is to make a European style beer with a smooth, spicy, gingersnap type of flavor profile.
