Ingredients:





     6 lb Light M& dried malt


          Extract


     1 c  English 2-row pale malt


     1 c  Crystal Malt 60L


     1 c  Crystal Malt 120L


 1 1/2 oz Northern Brewer hop pellets


          (alpha = 6.5; 50 min.)


   1/2 ts Irish Moss (15 min.)


     1 oz Northern Brewer hop pellets


          (1 min.)


          Wyeast #2035 American Lager


          Yeast


          (cultured from a previous


          Batch)


   3/4 c  Corn sugar for priming






 Toasted pale malt in a 375 degree oven for 20 minutes. Cracked it  along


 with the crystal and steeped in 2 quarts of 150-175 degree water for  20


 minutes. Sparged with approx. 1 gallon of water. Dissolved DME in sparge


 water  plus  cold water to make 3 and 1/2 gallons. Boiled for  60  min.,


 adding hops and Irish Moss for indicated times. Chilled with a  2-gallon


 ice block and 20 degree outdoor temps. Racked off hot/cold break, topped up


 to 5 gallons, pitching a 2-3 cup starter at about 90  degrees.  IBUs


 approximately  37. Single-stage fermentation for 14 days;  bottled  with


 3/4 cup priming sugar. F.G. = 1.022, a little high, but fermentation was


 definitely done. I did a side-by-side comparison of this brew to a bottle


 of  Anchor Steam, and here are the similarities/differences: This beer is


 exactly the same color as Anchor Steam, but it's a bit cloudier due to a


 little chill haze. The head is neither as big nor as long lasting as Anchor


 Steam's,  but it clings to the side of the glass better. This  beer  has


 more body than Anchor Steam, and it is a bit maltier and sweeter; Anchor


 Steam  is crisper with more hop bitterness. It is not as  carbonated  as


 Anchor  Steam, although it would not be considered undercarbonated.  All in


 all a very good beer. Original Gravity: 1.049 Final Gravity: 1.022 Primary


 Ferment: 14 days at 68--71 degrees.
