Steep the grains at 160°F for 30 minutes. Stir in the extract and bring to a boil.
Boil for 90 minutes with the above hop additions to acquire 5.5 gallons to the fermenter.
Ferment at 63-64°F for 3-5 days, then allow the fermentation temperature to rise naturally to 68°F. Rack to secondary (if desired) after the first week for another 10-14 days. Bottle using the 4oz of corn sugar for priming, or keg.
