Notes

A continuation of the recipe to date:

  • more step mash
  • rice hulls and flaked barley adds
  • homemade invert sugar

    Interview with brewer:
    http://www.thebrewingnetwork.com/post1676/

    This recipe is a loose follow to that recipe.

    Some differences include:
    -addition of torrified wheat as described in podcast in lieu of rice syrup
  • using homemade invert sugar from sugar in the raw and citric acid
