Warm the starter to about 155F and steep all the grains for 60 minutes.

When removing the grains, immediately add the first 1 ounce of Citra Hops and start the timer. Set heat to high, but don't wait for the boil, add the first hops immediately.

Once boiling, stir in the Dry Malt Extract

At 45 minutes, add another 1 ounce of Citra Hops.

At 50 minutes, add another 1 ounce of Citra Hops.

At 55 minutes, add another 1 ounce of Citra Hops.

At 59 minutes, add another 1 ounce of Citra Hops.

At the end of the boil (Timer hits 60 minutes) chill and top off to 5 gallons. Don't forget to measure your OG (I always forget). Add the English Ale Yeast and let it ferment for in a cool (65 degrees) place.
