I received this via a friend, with no brewing notes. Having not made it,
here is what I would suggest:
Add grains to a grain bag, steep in 2 Gal water at 155F for 45 mins to 1 hr, stirring
occasionally. Remove grains, add extract and bring to a boil.
Total boil time 75 mins.
-Boil for 15 mins, then add bittering hops.
-Continue for 50 mins, then add aroma hops (10 mins before knockoff)
Cool to pitching temp, pitch yeast (build a starter for the yeast)
Add dry hops after fermentation has completed, so the escaping gas will not carry your hop
aroma out of the airlock. I would probably ferment in primary for a week, rack to secondary
and add the dry hops after activity had subsided. Others have suggested using primary only,
just wait till all fermentation activity has subsided.
