Put malts into a boiling bag and place into 2.5 gallons of cold water. Bring water to a boil. Add DME, sugars and boiling hops to water. Boil 60 min, adding irish moss last 15 min. and adding finishing hops the last 5 min. Remove from stove and cool 15 min. Funnel into primary fermenter, adding cool water to make 5 gallons. Cool wort to 80*F, pitch yeast. Ferment 5-7 days. Siphon to secondary fermenter to clear, 5-7 days more. Siphon to priming bucket, prime with 1/2 cup corn sugar and 1/2 honey and bottle. This is very sweet, good if you like sweet old ales but want something lighter tasting.
