Notes
Heat 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of water to 155°F (68.4°C). Add the Crystal Malt. Remove the pot from the heat and steep at 150°F (65.6°C) for 30 minutes. Strain the grain water into the brew pot. Sparge the grains with 1/2 gallon (1.9 liters) of 150°F (65.6°C) water. Bring the water to a boil, remove from the heat and add the dry extra light extract and 1 oz. (28 g) East Kent Goldings (bittering hop). Add water until the total in the brew pot is 2.5 gallons (9.5 liters). Boil for 45 minutes then add 1/2 oz. (14 g) East Kent Goldings (flavor hop) and 1 tsp. (5 ml) Irish Moss. Boil for 14 minutes then add 1/2 oz. (14 g) East Kent Goldings (aroma hop). Boil for 1 minute. Remove the pot from the stove and chill the wort for 20 minutes. Strain the cooled wort into the primary fermenter and add cold water to obtain 5-1/8 gallons (19.5 liters). When the wort temperature is below 80°F (26.6°C, pitch the yeast. Ferment in the primary fermenter for 7 days or until fermentation slows, then siphon into the secondary fermenter (5 gallon glass carboy). Bottle when fermentation is complete, target gravity is reached and beer has cleared (approximately 3 weeks) with: 1-1/4 cup (300 ml) M&F Extra Light Dry Malt Extract that has been boiled for 10 minutes in 2 cups (473 ml) of water. Let prime at 70°F (21°C) for approximately 4 weeks until carbonated, then store at cellar temperature.
