Then strain out and sparge hops and direct the hot wort into a sanitized fermenter to which 2.5 gallons (9.5 l) of cold water has been added. Bring the total volume to 5 gallons (19 l) with additional cold water if necessary. Aerate the wort very well.

Pitch the yeast when temperature of wort is about 70 degrees F (21 C). Ferment at about 70 degrees F (21 C) for about 1 week, or until fermentation shows signs of calm and stopping. Rack from your primary to a secondary fermenter and “lager” the beer at temperatures between 35 and 45 degrees F (1.5–7 C) for 4 to 6 weeks.

Prime with sugar and bottle or keg when complete.

All-Grain Recipe
for 5 gallons (19 l)

4.5 lbs.: (2 kg) German pilsener malt

3 lbs.: (1.36 kg) German wheat malt

8 oz.: (225 g) German sauer malt

¾ oz.: (21 g) German Hallertauer hops 4.4% alpha (3.3 HBU/92 MBU)—60 minutes boiling

¾ oz.: (21 g) German Hallertauer hops 4.4% alpha (3.3 HBU/92 MBU)—20 minutes boiling

¼ tsp.: (1 g) powdered Irish moss

German wheat beer yeast

¾ cup: (175 ml measure) corn sugar (priming bottles) or 0.33 cups (80 ml) corn sugar for kegging

A step infusion mash is employed to mash the grains. Add 8 quarts (7.6 l) of 140-degree F (60 C) water to the crushed grain, stir, stabilize and hold the temperature at 132 degrees F (53 C) for 30 minutes. Add 4 quarts (3.8 l) of boiling water, add heat to bring temperature up to 155 degrees F (68 C) and hold for about 30 minutes. Then raise temperature to 167 degrees F (75 C), lauter and sparge with 3.5 gallons (13.5 l) of 170-degree F (77 C) water. Collect about 5.5 gallons (21 l) of runoff. Add 60-minute hops and bring to a full and vigorous boil.

The total boil time will be 60 minutes. When 20 minutes remain, add the 20-minute hops. When 10 minutes remain, add the Irish moss. After a total wort boil of 60 minutes, turn off the heat and place the pot (with cover on) in a running cold-water bath for 30 minutes. Continue to chill in the immersion or use other methods to chill your wort. Then strain and sparge the wort into a sanitized fermenter. Bring the total volume to 5 gallons (19 l) with additional cold water if necessary. Aerate the wort very well.

Pitch the yeast when temperature of wort is about 70 degrees F (21 C). Ferment at about 70 degrees F (21 C) for about 1 week, or until fermentation shows signs of calm and stopping. Rack from your primary to a secondary fermenter and maintain temperature at 70 degrees F (21 C) until fermentation is complete.

Prime with sugar and bottle or keg when complete.

Malt Extract Recipe
for 5 gallons (19 l)

6.75 lbs.: (3.06 kg) wheat malt extract syrup or 5.4 lbs. (2.5 kg) dried wheat malt extract

The total boil time will be 60 minutes. When 20 minutes remain, add the 20-minute hops. When 10 minutes remain, add the Irish moss. After a total wort boil of 60 minutes, turn off the heat.

Immerse the covered pot of wort in a cold-water bath and let sit for 30 minutes, or the time it takes to have a couple of homebrews.

Then strain out and sparge hops and direct the hot wort into a sanitized fermenter to which 2.5 gallons (9.5 l) of cold water has been added. Bring the total volume to 5 gallons (19 l) with additional cold water if necessary. Aerate the wort very well.
