  1. Boil 2.75 gallons of water
  2. Steep crushed grains for 20 minutes or until temperature reaches 170 degrees F

  6. Add 2 Oz Cascade hops 20 mins before end of boil
  7. Add 1 Oz Centennial hops 5 mins before end of boil
  8. Cool the wort
  9. Add cooled wort to fermenter and top off to 5 gallons to achieve a temperature of between 75 and 78 degrees F.
  10. Aerate the wort and sprinkle dry yeast onto the top of the wort.
  11. Seal fermenter and let ferment for 1-2 weeks
  12. After 1-2 weeks of primary fermentation, transfer beer to a secondary fermenter
  13. 1 week from when you plan to bottle, add 2 Oz of Citra leaf hops and 1 Oz of Citra pellet hops inside muslin bags and into the fermenter.
  14. Two days before you plan to bottle, add 1 Oz of Citra leaf hops inside a muslin bag and into the fermenter.
  15. Bottle
