| Activate the Yeast Pack according to the directions on the back of the package. Combine grains and flaked rye into a grain bag. Heat 2 gallons of filtered water along with Brew Saltz to 163*F. Turn off heat, add grain bag. (Do not add grains to water above 165*F.). Let temperature rest down to 156*F. and hold at 154-156*F for 25 minutes, stirring grain bag gently from time to time. Leave pot uncovered during this time. Then remove grain bag and let drain into brew pot. Do Not Squeeze Grain Bag! Rinse grains over brew pot by slowly pouring 2 cups of HOT tap water over top of grain bag. Discard grains. With heat off, add malt extracts and stir. Turn on heat and, while stirring, bring to a boil. Make note of the time the boil starts and add the 1 oz of Green Bullet hops. Make sure your boil is a calm boil. Do not boil to hard. Boil for 45 minutes and add 1/2 oz of the cluster hops along with the Irish Moss. Boil another 1o minutes, add the 1 Lb of Belgian Candy Sugar and the remaining 1/2 oz of the Cluster hops. Turn off heat. Gently stir for a few minutes. Cool the wort and add to fermenter on top of 2 gallons of very cold filtered water. Top off to 5 gallons. HINT: 8 Lbs of good clean ice = 1 gallon of water. After the temperature cools to 80 degrees or cooler, open the yeast package and pour the contents on top of the wort. Ferment 7-10 days at 68 - 72*F. You can also go from primary to secondary after 5 days and leave in secondary 7 days. The final specific gravity should be 1.008 - 1.012. To bottle, rack into bottling bucket. Heat 12 oz of water and 7/8 cup of Dextrose in microwave for 2 minutes, then add to bottling bucket. Stir gently but thoroughly. Bottle and cap. Store at room temperature 7 - 10 days, then chill as needed and enjoy. | ||
