YEAST

DIRECTIONS
Mill the grains and mash at 154°F (68°C) for 60 minutes. Vorlauf until the runnings are clear, then lauter and sparge to get about 6.6 gallons (25 liters) of wort—or more, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil for 70 minutes, adding hops according to the schedule. Add the whirlpool hops at flame-out and whirlpool for 25 minutes. Chill the wort to 68°F (20°C), aerate well, and pitch the yeast. Ferment at 71°F (22°C), adding dry hops on Day 4. Allow fermentation to complete, then crash, carbonate, and package.
