This was my first attempt at anything but just an extract can and a bag of DME. I followed The Brew-Masters Bible for how long and how to steep the Dextrin and wheat malt. The grain was steeped for 30min @ 122 then 20min @ 150 then 20min @ 158. These were used to make a medium bodied beer even though the OG was rather high so we shall see where it finishes up in 13 days

After 7 days in secondary I cold crashed it for only a few hours due to the fact that it was 3d F outside. didnt want to risk any of it freezing. Bottled with 3/4C Priming sugar.
