Notes
I used Bottled Water (©Hinkley Springs) to ensure clean, mineral-free water. I stored the 5 gallon jug, still sealed, in the fridge for 24 hours prior to brew-day. This was to help with the cooling process below. Also, I did 2 stage fermenting. I don't know what your results will be using 1 stage. 1) Steep grains at 170F for 30 min in 3 gallons of water. Then pull from the heat and let sit for another 10 minutes. 2) Pull the grains, add the extract and still until you there is little or no "drag" on the bottom of the pot. NOW, put back on the heat and bring to a boil. 3) As soon as the boil begins, add the hops are described above. 4) When the 60 minutes are up, cool immediatly by putting the pot in a batch of ice-water. When the temp drops below 90, pour the entire pot into the first fermenter. Now open the 5 gallon water jug from the fridge and level to 5 gallons. Check the temp; it should be at about 70'. Add the yeast, seal and store for 1 week. 5) Rack to a glass carboy, leaving as much solid-matter as possible behind. Seal and store for 14 days. 6) Bottle, let sit for a week at room temprature, chill and enjoy. This will give you an very exotic tasting beer. The flavors are better when served at about 60'-65'.
