Directions
-
Mill the grains and get 13 gallons of strike water ready. Mash in, add mash hop addition, and hold at 152°F for 60 minutes.
-
Recirculate until your runnings are clear, then run off into the kettle.
-
Sparge and top up as necessary to get about 13 gallons of wort. If brewing a 5-gallon batch, start boil with 6 gallons.
-
Boil for 90 minutes, adding hop additions at times designated above in the "Hop Bill" section.
-
After the boil, whirlpool as follows: Get temp of wort to 204°F. Stir or recirculate to create a vortex, add the whirlpool addition hops, and allow 30 minutes to steep.
-
Chill the wort to 69°F, aerate well, and pitch yeast.
-
Ferment at 69°F, and dry hop according to schedule above.
-
At day 12 of fermentation, soft crash if passing diacetyl test to 58°F. Dump the cone, and add last two dry hop additions.
-
Hold until terminal gravity is reached, then package and carb.
- Drink fresh!
Brewer's Notes
Mash hopping: This is a technique used to bring out thiols and thiol precursors in hops. Read all about how to mash hop here.
