Add the Northern Brewer bittering hops and boil for 60 minutes. Add the Northern Brewer finishing hops for the last 5 minutes of the boil. Now add the wort to 2.0 gallons (7.6 L) of cool water in a sanitary fermenter and top off with cool water to 5.5 gallons (21 L) Cool the wort to 75 ºF (24 ºC), aerate the beer and pitch your yeast. Allow the beer to cool over the next few hours to 68 ºF (20 ºC), and hold at this temperature until the beer has finished fermenting. Bottle or keg your beer and enjoy!

This is a single step infusion mash. Replace the malt syrup with 10 lbs. (4.5 kg) of 2-row pale ale malt. Mash the 4 grains together at 152 ºF (68 ºC) for 45 minutes. Collect approximately 7 gallons wort (26.6 L) to boil for 90 minutes and have a 5.5-gallon (21-L) yield.
