Notes
Put malts and barley into a boiling bag and place into 2 gallons of cold water. Bring to boil and remove, sloshing about and draining well. Add extract, sugar and boiling hops and boil 60 minutes. During the last 15 minutes add the finishing hops and spices. Funnel to primary fermentor. Add cool clean water to top to 5 gallons, cool to 80* and pitch rehydrated yeast. Ferment 5-7 days, Siphon to secondary fermentor and let settle for 5-7 days. Prime with 3/4 cup corn surgar in bottling bucket and bottle. Works better if you keg it with 1/2 cup corn sugar.
