Ingredients:
· 6.6 pounds light liquid malt extract
· ½-pound 40L Crystal malt
· 1-pound corn sugar
· 2-ounces Northern Brewer hops (flavor)
· 1-ounce Cascade hops (aroma)
· 1 packet Superior lager yeast (recommended liquid yeast: White Labs WLP001 – California Lager)
· 1 muslin grain bag
· 2 muslin hops bags
Procedure:
Prior to brewing, hydrate the yeast in a sterile jar with 1 cup of warm water, a teaspoon of corn sugar and a pinch of yeast nutrient. Set the starter aside with a sterile covering while brewing.
Crush grains and place inside muslin bag. Steep the grains in 1 gallon of water at 165 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes. Remove the grains from the water, add the malt extracts and the remainder of the corn sugar, and raise to a boil. After boiling for 30 minutes, add 1-ounce of Northern Brewer hops, and allow the wort to continue to boil. After 30 more minutes, add the other 1-ounce of Northern Brewer hops and allow the wort to continue to boil. After 15 more minutes, add the Cascade hops. Boil 3 minutes longer, and then remove from the heat.
Cover the pot and let sit while you clean and sterilize a fermenter. Add three gallons of chilled water to the sterile fermenter. Strain the wort into the pot and add enough cold water to bring up to 5-¼ gallons. When the temperature is below 80 degrees, add the yeast and seal with an airlock. Leave in a cool, dark place (70 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit.) The character of steam beer comes from using lager yeast, but fermenting at ale temperatures.
The wort should ferment for 7 to 15 days. Bottle when bubbling stops.
Sterilize the bottling bucket and siphon equipment. Boil 1-cup of corn sugar in a pint of water until liquified. Pour into bottling bucket. After taking a specific gravity reading, siphon the beer into the bottling bucket ensuring that it blends thoroughly with the sugar water. If kegging, disregard the priming sugar. It should make 53 (plus or minus) 12-ounce bottles.
