| Gather all needed ingredients and read through the brew steps. | |
| Collect 2.50 gallons of water in your brew kettle and begin heating. | |
Steeping Grains | 
                                        |
                                                Pour the following ingredients into a mesh bag:
                                                
  | 
                                        |
| Steep grain for 20 minutes or until water reaches 170 F | |
| Remove mesh bag and discard | |
| Bring water to a boil | |
Fermentables | 
                                        |
| To avoid scorching, remove kettle from heat source | |
                                                Add the following fermantables to the kettle:
                                                
  | 
                                        |
| Return to a boil | |
Hops and Kettle Additions | 
                                    |
                                            As soon as you reach a boil, set timer for 60 minutes
                                                                                            
  | 
                                    |
Cooling | 
                                    |
| When the 60 minute boil is complete, cool the wort to 68 F as rapidly as possible. Use a wort chiller or place the kettle in an ice bath. | |
| While the wort cools, sanitize the fermenting equipment - fermentor, lid or stopper, air lock, funnel, etc. along with the yeast pack and a pair of scissors. | |
| Pour in the cooled wort into your fermentor. Leave any thick sludge in the bottom of the kettle. | |
| Add more cold water as needed to bring the volume to 5.00 gallons. | |
| Using a hydrometer, take a gravity reading from a sample of your wort. This should be close to the estimated O.G. (original gravity) of 1.053. | |
| Seal the fermentor and aerate the wort. Rock fermentor back and forth for a few minutes or use an aeration stone. | |
Yeast | 
                                    |
| Add yeast once the temperature of the wort is 78 F or lower. Use the sanitized scissors to cut off a corner of the yeast pack, and carefully pour the yeast into the primary fermentor. | |
| Seal the fermentor with stopper or lid. Add water into the sanitized airlock and then insert the airlock into the rubber stopper or lid. | |
Fermentation | 
                                    |
| Allow beer to ferment at the recommended temp for the recommended number of days. | |
Drop Hop Additions | 
                                        |
| Add 0.50 oz Nugget and leave for 5 Day(s). | |
| Add 0.50 oz Cascade and leave for 5 Day(s). |
