At 170 degrees pull out the grain bag and slowly stir in light malt extract & honey, never letting it boil and stirring constantly.

After 30 minutes of boiling add 1/2oz Cascade hops.
With 5 minutes remaining add 1/2oz Cascade hops.
Pull wort off burner and place lid on it for cooling down to nearly room temperature. (I usually let the kettle sit in some cold water with ice.)
After wort is chilled, add to carboy with cold water and then add yeast.
Stir carboy mixture for a few minutes.
Add water until mixture reaches neck of carboy.
Seal mixture with water lock and let sit in dark CONSTANT TEMPERATURE of 70 degrees location.
