The 1 lb. of Flaked Maize adds a touch of sweetness, reminiscent of a freshly baked corn tortilla.

But the flavor journey doesn't stop there. The 8 oz. of Vienna Malt and 8 oz. of Biscuit Malt work in harmony to create a bready complexity that's as comforting as your favorite bakery. And to top it all off, the 2 oz. of Tettnang Hops add a subtle bitterness, balancing out the sweetness and providing a crisp, clean finish.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Heat 2-3 gallons of water to 155°F.
2. Place grains in a grain bag and steep in the hot water for 30 minutes.
3. Remove the grain bag, sparge (rinse) with warm water into the wort, and discard.
4. Add the malt extracts and stir until fully dissolved.
5. Bring the wort to a rolling boil.
6. Add the hops according to the hop schedule.
7. Boil for 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
8. At 15 minutes add Yeast Energizer / Irish Moss Combo Packet.
9. Cool the wort to 68°F. An immersion chiller or ice bath works well for this.
10. Transfer the wort to a sanitized fermenter and top off with cold water to 5 gallons.
11. Pitch the yeast and seal the fermenter.
12. Ferment at 50-68°F for 10-14 days. This yeast performs well at a wide range of temperatures, being on the cooler side is best if you have the ability to do so.

14. Once bottled, allow 2 weeks for carbonation in a cool, dark room. Enjoy!
