Hey Guys and Gals! A light extract beer with Willamette hops. No mash, so it is a good first brew.
Ingredients
2 lbs liquid malt extract
3 lbs dry malt extract
1 lb rice extract
1 1/2 oz Willamette hops, for bittering
1/2 oz Willamette hops, for dry hopping
American liquid Wyeast yeast
3 oz priming sugar
Directions
1. Bring 3.25 to 3.5 gallons of water to a boil. Take it off the heat, stir in the extracts until dissolved, and return to a boil, avoiding a boil over.
2. Add the 1 1/2 oz of Willamette at the start and boil 60 minutes.
3. Cool the wort, transfer to the primary, top off with cold water, aerate, and take a gravity reading.
4. At around 72F, pitch the yeast from a 2L starter. Ferment one week at the yeast’s suggested temperature, keeping the carboy about a third empty.
5. Rack to a secondary carboy with the 1/2 oz of dry hops for another week.
6. Sanitize, add the priming sugar, siphon slowly, bottle and cap.
