Brew Notes
-Used two vials of White Labs yeast instead of making a starter

Directions
Place grains in a grain bag. Put grain bag into 1 gallon of water. Heat to 155° F and steep for 30 minutes. Remove grain bag and drain into the brewpot.

You can rinse the grain bag with hot water but do not squeeze the bag. After removing the grains add water to bring the total to 6 gallons.

Add the malt extracts (DME&WME) and bring to a boil. Add the Hallertauer and Fuggles hops and boil for 30 minutes. Add the Servormyces and continue boiling for another 30 minutes. Add the Clear Candi Syrup and boil for 2 more minutes.
Add 1 oz of Hallertauer Hops at the end of the boil. Cool as quickly as possible.

Add the yeast and aerate thoroughly when temperature drops below 68° F.

Start the fermentation around 68° F and then allow temperature to rise during the primary fermentation to 75° F. When fermentation is complete rack to the secondary fermenter and cool as much as possible, 32° for 3 days is ideal. Then bottle or keg the beer.
