Step by Step
Mill the grains, then mix with 3.75 gallons (14.2 L) of 169 °F (76 °C) strike water to achieve a single infusion rest temperature of 154 °F (68 °C). Hold at this temperature for 40 minutes. Mashout to 170 °F (77 °C) if desired.
Vorlauf until your runnings are clear before directing them to your boil kettle. Batch or fly sparge the mash with enough water to obtain 6.5 gallons (25 L) of wort. Boil for 90 minutes, adding hops at the times left in the boil indicated above. At 20 minutes left in boil, add the dextrose first and then at 10 minutes left, you should add a kettle fining agent such as Irish moss or Whirlfloc.
After the boil, add the flameout hops indicated and whirlpool for 20 minutes. Chill to 180 °F (82 °C), then add the hopstand hops and whirlpool another 20 minutes before rapidly chilling the wort to 64 °F (18 °C). Pitch yeast. Maintain fermentation temperature of 68 °F (20 °C) for this beer.
Once primary fermentation is complete, and the beer has settled, bottle or keg the beer and carbonate to approximately 2.5 volumes. A fermenter fining agent would be recommended to get the beer bright if the yeast is taking its time falling. Biofine, PVPP, or gelatin would be recommended here.
