Preparation
In a large pot, heat 1/2 gallon of water to 168 degrees F. Add cracked grains and stir well. Let the water cool slowly to about 150 degrees F and maintain for 20 minutes. Pour liquid from mini-mash into brewpot and sparge grains with 170 degree F water. Add 1 1/2 gallons water to brewpot along with the malt extract. Bring to a boil. Upon boil, add 1 oz of Tomahawk hops. After 20 minutes, add 1 oz of Nugget hops. After 20 more minutes, add 2 oz of Mt. Hood hops. After 10 more minutes, add 1 oz of Cascade hops and boil for 10 more minutes. Sparge into the fermenter and top off to 5 gallons. Pitch yeast when temperature drops below 80 degrees F. Ferment for 7 days. Transfer to secondary fermenter and wait another 7 days or more. Enjoy!

Comments
An excellent beer with lots of flavor, 6.5% alcohol and really smooth. This recipe was intended to be a taste-alike for Deschutes Jubelale, or Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale. While I'm not sure how close it tastes, it's a good rendition of a holiday, winter beer.
