Comments:

Make a 2-quart starter for the yeast a couple of days before you brew. Steep the crystal malt at 170 degrees for 20 minutes in about 1 gallon of brew water. Strain out the grains. Add water and the malt syrup so you have about 3.5 gallons. Boil the mixture along with the boiling hops for 75 minutes. Add finishing hops in last 10 minutes. Cool the wort, transfer to fermentation vessel and pitch the yeast starter.
