Ingredients:

0.5 lbs Cara-Pils
2 cups Honey (Raspberry if you can find it)
6 lbs Stone LME (65%/35% Wheat/Barley)
1.7 ozs Hallertau/Hersbrucker Hops (2.2%AA-3.8HBU)
0.25 ozs Mt. Hood Hops
0.25 tsp Irish Moss
4 ozs Raspberry Extract
1 cup Honey (Again, Raspberry...)
1 bag Weisenstaufehn (sp?) WYeast

Procedure:

Add 1 gallon water to brewpot. To water, add Cara-Pils in a grain bag and bring to 155ish degrees (I use muslin grain bags... They seem to work relatively well, and get more water through them than nylon). Have homebrew. Hold at this temperature for 30 minutes. Have more homebrew. When the timer finally dings, remove from heat. Put grain bag in your kitchen strainer, suspend over brewpot, and run 1/2 gallon of water through it. Bring your (now appx. 2 gallons of...) wort back to a boil. Add honey, LME, and boiling hops. Boil 40 minutes. At 30 minutes, add your Mount Hood Hops. At 38 minutes, add your Irish Moss. Cool wort. Add to 2 1/2 gallons water in 6.5 gallon (5 gallon will work with blow-off) carboy. Ferment 2 weeks. Rack to secondary. Two more weeks. Bring Honey and 16 oz of water to a boil. Let steep for 15 minutes. Add to bottling bucket. Add extract to bottling bucket. Siphon, bottle, enjoy in 3 days to a week.
