I brewed a 10 gallon version of this batch for a local homebrewer tap release at Raleigh Brewing Company. 100% of the proceeds go to Habitat for Humanity of Wake County.

Want to Brew this Extract?

Substitute the pilsner malt for 5.5 pounds of liquid pilsner malt extract, and substitute the Munich II for 2 pounds of amber liquid malt extract (or Munich LME if you can find it). Do a partial mash by steeping the remaining grains @ 150°F for 20-30 min.
