Water:	Start grain rest at 155º for 30 minutes.

Steep:	Steep wart for 30 minutes and spauge with hot water after 30 minutes and discard spent grains. Bring wart level to 2.5 gallons before boiling.
Boil:	60 minutes	SG 1.103	2.5 gallons
	5 lb. 8 oz. Light malt extract 1 lb. Cane sugar
	After steeping, add extract, sugar, bitter hops (Galena and Hallertauer), and bring to a boil for 60 minutes. 10 minutes left in the boil add 1/4 teaspoon of Irish Moss. Cool wart and add to carboy filled with enough water to have 5 gallons of wart. Bring temp down to 70 degrees before adding yeast.
Hops:	1 oz. Galena (13% AA, 60 min.) 1 oz. Hallertauer (4.25% AA, 60 min.) 1 oz. Styrian Goldings (aroma)
Yeast:	Use a highly attenuating healthy culture of English style yeast. I recommend Dry English Ail Yest (White Lab WLP007) This has the higher attenuation you need for this type of beer.
Log:	After original fermentation stops, transfer to secondary fermentation container and dry hop (Styrian Goldings) at a temperature below 55º for two weeks.
Carbonation:	Carbonate with 1/2 pound of priming sugar. If you like you can also add a dose of Brettanomyces yeast at bottleing if you'd like.
