Step 1
Put 2 gal. (7.6 L) of water in the boil pot and heat to 160°F (71°C). While the water is heating, put the Wort A specialty grains (Munich and CaraVienne malts) into a grain bag and tie off the ends so the grains can’t escape.
Step 2
Once the water has reached 150–170° F (66–77° C), immerse the grain bag in the water for 30 minutes. For more information on steeping specialty grains, visit Let’s Brew on the AHA website.
Step 3
After 30 minutes, remove the grain bag and let it drip until it stops. Add the rest of Wort A (Vienna LME) to the water and stir until totally dissolved.
Step 4
Bring to a rolling boil for 60 minutes, adding hops at specified intervals from end of boil. Add Wort B (3.5 lb Munich DME) at knockout (0 min) until totally dissolved.
Step 5
Strain wort into sanitized fermentation vessel with 2–3 gal. (7.6–11.4 L) of pre-boiled, chilled water for a total volume of 5 gal. (18.9 L).
Step 6
Chill wort and pitch yeast when temperature reaches 52° F (11° C), leaving it in primary fermentation for 14–20 days at 52° F (11° C).
Step 7
Hold a diacetyl rest for three days at 57–59° F (14–15° C).
Step 8
Gradually lower to 48° F (9° C) and hold for 8 days.
