Steep crushed specialty grains in about 3 gallons of water at 150° to 155° for 30 minutes. Remove grains, and bring wort to a boil. When boiling starts, remove pot from burner and add 1 cup malt syrup. Return to a boil, then add 3/4 ounce Centennial hops and boil for 60 minutes. Add the Willamette hops and lactose for the last 5 minutes of the boil. Then add remainder of malt syrup and dry malt extract and stir to mix, wait 10 minutes to sanitize. Add the wort to cool water to fill to the 5 1/2 gallon mark. Add your yeast when the wort is 75° to 80°, and aerate this beer heavily to get all the sugars fermented. Let the wort cool to about 70° over the next few hours and ferment at 68°-72° until complete. (normally 7 to 10 days) Bottle, and drink when you are thirsty!
