Mix the crushed grain with 4 gallons (15 L) of 170 °F (77 °C) water to stabilize at 149 °F (65 °C) for 60 minutes. Sparge slowly with 175 °F (79 °C) water. Collect approximately 6.5 gallons (25 L) of wort runoff to boil for 90 minutes. While boiling, add the hops, dextrose, and yeast nutrient as per the schedule. Cool the wort to 80 °F (27 °C). Pitch your yeast and aerate the wort heavily. Allow the beer to cool to 75 °F (24 °C). Hold at that temperature until fermentation is complete. Add the dry hops and let the beer condition for 1 week. Bottle or keg as normal. Extract with grains option: Substitute the Pilsner and 2-row pale malts in the all-grain recipe with 6.6 lbs. (3 kg) Pilsner liquid malt extract and 1.6 lbs. (0.73 kg) light dried malt extract. Steep the crushed grain in 2 qts. (1.8 L) of water at 149 °F (65 °C) for 30 minutes. Remove grains from the wort and rinse with 2 quarts (1.8 L) of hot water. Add the liquid and dry malt extracts, then top off the 3.5 gallons (13.2 L) and bring to a boil. While boiling, add the hops, powdered dextrose and yeast nutrient as per the schedule. After the boil, add the wort to 2 gallons (7.6 L) of cold water in the fermenter and top off with cold water up to 5 gallons (19 L). Follow the remaining portion of the all-grain recipe.
