Notes
Mash the grains in 3qt water for 60min at 142-148. Sparge grains with 9qts (2.25gal) recently boiled water with gypsum. Bring to a boil, remove from heat and add the malt extract and the maple syrup. Bring back to a boil. Boil for 45min with the first .5oz of No.Brewer. Add the remaining .5oz and 1/4tsp Irish Moss - boil for 14min. Add the Cascade hops for 1min more. (careful - don't let this puppy boil over or you'll be sticking to your floor for years to come) Top up to 5gal and cool as quickly as possible down to 85 or below. Pitch the yeast. Transfer to the secondary fermenter after intitial fermentation has died down. Ferment for at least one-week and bottle wtih 1.5c DME for a primer. As with most recipes, the longer they are in the bottle the better but 4weeks should do the trick. Enjoy!
