Place grains in a cheese cloth bag sold at home brew stores. Steep grains in 2.5 gallons of water @ a temp of about 152F to 160F for about 45 minutes.
After 45 minutes or so increase the temp to 167F, then remove the bag of grains and rinse over the brewing pot with 175F water and let drip for a few minutes (Put the used grains into your compost pile). DO NOT SQUEEZE THE GRAIN BAG!...
Now bring to a boil. Remove the heat and add the malt - stirring constantly until disolved.
Apply heat and bring to a boil again. Add 2oz of bittering hops SLOWLY, otherwise it will boil over.
Boil for 45 minutes.
Add 1 tablet (1/2 teaspoon) of Irish moss to promote firm trub settling. This time would be a good time to insert your wort chiller if you have one.
Boil for 5 minutes then add 1oz of flavoring hops and boil for 10 minutes.
Remove from heat and cool as quickly as possible.
After getting to 70F. Stir and leave alone for 15 minutes to let everything settle.
Add to your fermenter bucket or bottle and add cold water to reach the 5 gallon mark.
Check the temp. you are looking for about 68F, add yeast, cover and add the airlock.
After about three days transfer to a second fermenter and forget about it for 7 to 10 days.
Transfer to a keg or add priming sugar and bottle.
