Steep grains at 150 °F (66 °C) in 4.5 qts. (4.3 L) of water for 45 minutes. Add water to make 3 gallons (11 L) of wort, add dried malt extract and boil for 60 minutes. Add liquid malt extract for final 15 minutes of the boil.

Add final hops at knockout (end of boil) and hold for 5-10 minutes before cooling. Cool wort, transfer to fermenter and pitch yeast. Ferment at 68 °F (20 °C).
