Honey Nectar Extra Pale Ale

 GRAINS/MALT  HOPS  YEAST/EXTRAS
6 lbs. Pale Malt Extract
1 lb. Mountain Flower Honey (added late in boil)*
1/2 lb. Wheat grain
1/2 lb. Crystal 20L
1/2 lb. Belgian Carapils grain
1/2 oz. Hallertau hops (boil)
1/2 oz. Willamette hops (mid boil)
1/2 oz. Hallertau hops (late boil)
1/2 oz. Willamette hops (end of boil)
White Burton or East Coast Ale Yeast, or Wyeast London Ale Yeast
 INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Steep grains in a mesh bag in 2 gallons of water while heating to boiling. Do not boil grains.
2. Remove grains and add malt extract. Stir to thoroughly dissolve, and bring to boiling.
3. Add 1/2 oz. Hallertau hops and begin timing a 30 minute boil. Boil gently and stir frequently to avoid scorching.
4. With 10 minutes remaining in the boil, add 1/2 oz. of Willamette hops.
5. With 5 minutes remaining in the boil, add 1/2 oz. of Hallertau hops. *Then add 1 lb. of Mountain Flower Honey and stir to dissolve.
6. At the end of the 30 minute boil, add 1/2 oz. of Willamette hops.
7. Cool (as always we strongly recommend using a wort chiller) until temperature is below 80 degrees F before putting in fermenter, adding water to make 5 gallons total, and adding yeast. Be certain temperature of the mixture is 75 degrees or below. If you don't already have a Thermometer Strip on your fermenter, GET ONE !! They are only $2.95, and are one of the best tools you can have.
 NOTES:
For all grain brewers, substitute 8 - 9 lbs. of your preferred 2-row malted barley for the malt extract. Keep specialty grains as above. Mash at 155 degrees F for 1 hour. Sparge with 175 degree sparge water to keep grains from cooling and reducing your sparge efficiency. Add the first 1/2oz. of Hallertau hops at the beginning of a 60 minute boil, but keep all other hop addition times as indicated in the extract recipe.
