Source Notes:: From whitehouse.gov September 1, 2012. Originally brewed with White House honey.
Notes:: In a 12 qt pot, steep the grains in a hop bag in 1 1/2 gallons of sterile water at 155 F for 30 minutes. Remove the grains. Add the 2 cans of the malt extract and the dried extract and bring to a boil. For the first flavoring, add the 1.5 oz Kent Goldings and 2 tsp of gypsum. Boil for 45 minutes. For the second flavoring, add the 1.5 oz Fuggles hop pellets at the last minute of the boil. Add the honey and boil for 5 more minutes. Add 2 gallons chilled sterile water into the primary fermenter and add the hot wort into it. Top with more water to total 5 gallons. There is no need to strain. Pitch yeast when wort temperature is between 70-80 F. Fill airlock halfway with water. Ferment at 68-72 F for about 7 days. Rack to a secondary fermenter after 5 days and ferment for 14 more days. To bottle, make a priming syrup on the stove with 1 cup sterile water and 3/4 cup priming sugar, bring to a boil for five minutes. Pour mixture into an empty bottling bucket. Siphon the beer from the fermenter over it. Distribute priming sugar evenly. Siphon into bottles and cap. Let sit for 1-2 weeks at 75 F.
