	As soon as you reach a boil, set timer for 60 minutes After 15 minute(s), add 1.00 oz Chinook and boil for 45 Minute(s). After 55 minute(s), add 1.00 oz Chinook and boil for 5 Minute(s). After 60 minute(s), add 1.00 oz Amarillo and boil for 0 Minute(s).
	Cooling
	When the 60 minute boil is complete, cool the wort to 68 F as rapidly as possible. Use a wort chiller or place the kettle in an ice bath.
	While the wort cools, sanitize the fermenting equipment - fermentor, lid or stopper, air lock, funnel, etc. along with the yeast pack and a pair of scissors.
	Pour in the cooled wort into your fermentor. Leave any thick sludge in the bottom of the kettle.
	Add more cold water as needed to bring the volume to 5.00 gallons.
	Using a hydrometer, take a gravity reading from a sample of your wort. This should be close to the estimated O.G. (original gravity) of 1.037.
	Seal the fermentor and aerate the wort. Rock fermentor back and forth for a few minutes or use an aeration stone.
	Yeast
	Add yeast once the temperature of the wort is 78 F or lower. Use the sanitized scissors to cut off a corner of the yeast pack, and carefully pour the yeast into the primary fermentor.
	Seal the fermentor with stopper or lid. Add water into the sanitized airlock and then insert the airlock into the rubber stopper or lid.
	Fermentation
	Allow beer to ferment at the recommended temp for the recommended number of days.
