The grains simmered for 25 minutes; we resumed heating and removed the grains at 170F. Once the mixture reached a boil, we removed from heat and added the malt extract, malto-dextrin, and liquid malt (Darren is scooping the molasses-like malt in one of the pictures). Once dissolved, we placed the pot back on the burner, and now we are waiting for it to return to a full boil. At that point, we will add the bittering hops and let it boil for 60 minutes. In the mean time, one of us will run to 7-11 for some ice for the cooling process at the end of 60 minutes.
The brew cats are currently going insane, running everywhere, after having been cooped up at the beginning of the brewing process. Little do they know, we'll lock them in again at the end of the 60 minute boil--for their safety and ours.
