Add extract to wort stir until dissolved. When you think you are done, stir another 10 minutes. Adjust volume to a minimum of 4 gallons. Bring to boil. Add Willamette hops AFTER the hot break and start 60 minute timer. At 30 minutes add Fuggles and large tablespoon of Irish Moss.

Carbonation: | When bottling this style and most English styles I only use 2/3 cup corn sugar. It reduces the C02 volume and is more to style. |
