Recipe Notes
Add the malt extract and Perle and Saaz hops to 1 1/2 gallons (5.7l) of water and bring to a rolling boil. Boil for 30 minutes, and then add the Tettnang hops and continue to boil for 30 more minutes for a total of 1 hour. Strain, sparge and transfer to 2 gallons (7.5l) of cold water in the fermenter. Top off with additional water to make 5 gallons (19l). Add the yeast when cool and ferment until there is little fermentation activity. If you can move it to a cooler area - between 55 and 60 degrees F - do so and let "lager" for 1 to 2 weeks. If you cannot move to a cooler temperature, relax, don't worry. Let fermentation complete and then bottle. Either way, when ready to bottle, do it. Let age for a couple weeks or when clear and carbonated. Chill, serve and have a homebrew.
