Notes

Use a partial mash for 1 hour, 150 degrees, 2 quarts of water, and sparged with 2.5 quarts of water at 170 degrees. Add bulk of extract late in the boil. That is--add the pound of DME and about 1.5 pounds of the LME (I used Northern Brewer Gold) at start of boil. At 15 minutes left in boil, remove kettle from heat and add remainder of LME. Return to heat after LME is thoroughly mixed and dissolved. . Dissolve the candi sugar in 1 pint of water boiled and add in the last 15 minutes of boil as well. Don't worry about wort coming back to a boil at the late addition. I spent a good 10 minutes mixing in the extract and making sure it was dissolved before returning kettle to burner.
