Steeping Grains:
1) Light Munich
2) Vienna

Hops:

Target 2oz - Bittering Hop
Cascade 1oz - Flavor Hop
Cascade 1oz - Aroma Hop

Brewing:

Heat Up 4 Gallons of water to about 155 to 160 then add steeping grains in bag to water. Works best to they the grain bag off on the pot handle so they stay middle ways in water. Steep time = 30 minutes. Remove from heat and save grain for animals or something don't waste it. Take a sniff cause its smells awesome. Add in extract & mix well as you go. Once mixed place back on heat and bring to boil. Once you have rolling boil begin timer on 60 minute boil and as bittering hop in hop bag and let it dance in the boil. With 15 minutes left add flavor hop in hop bag and at 7 to 5 minutes left add the aroma hop in hop bag.

Cool Down & Ferment:

While waiting for wort to cool pull yeast out of fridge. Yeast should be out of fridge at least 1 hr prior to pitching. Cool Down to at least 70 degrees. Pour Wort into primary ensuring to let it splash good. It will foam up a lot. Next stir until nice whirlpool action. Pitch dry yeast by sprinkling over top of the whirlpooling wort. Pop on top with airlock and let her go. Should have bubbles in airlock with in 5 to 8 hours.

Fermentation Temp -> 62 to 65 degrees. Nothing over 68. 28 days or until SG readings are stable for 3 days. (20 days in primary and 8 in secondary)

Bottle & Conditioning: Bottle as normal 5 oz of corn sugar with 3/4 cup of water boiled for 5 minutes. Put into bottling bucket and auto syphon wort on top.

Let condition in bottle for 1 week. Place one in fridge and give her a taste. Should have carbonation but might be still little green and bit on low carbonation side. If so let her sit another week and repeat process. If after second week you still think she could use some more conditioning repeat process again. After 3 weeks you should be saying damn this might be better than the real thing.

WL Cali will work for yeast too if you like.
