Heat specialty grain in 2.5 gallons of water at 152 degrees for 45 minutes. Remove grain, add dry malt extract, bring to a boil and add 1 oz Chinook hops. Boil for 85 minutes and add 1.25 oz Willamette hops. Boil 5 minutes and remove from heat for a rest, then add 1.5 oz Willamette hops. Boil 5 minutes and remove from heat and allow to rest for 15 minutes. Bring up to 5.25 gallons with chilled, pre-boiled (if you live in lower Alabama) water. Cool to 72 degrees. I take a nap. Add yeast in your regular routine, aerate, & let ferment for 5-6 days at 70-73 degrees, or at the lower end of your yeast manufacturer’s recommendation. Age for one week before racking into bottles or kegs. Definitely aerate. I had to agitate the bucket 18 hours later because of no fermentation (yet).
