Notes

Mashing 75 to 90 minutes to get a slightly more-fermentable wort

Chill, then pitch your yeast and
Drop the temperature to about 57F. for five days.

Let the beer free-rise to anything up to 70F, and wait it out.

prone to "phantom fermentation," showing almost no krausen

Post-fermentation, cold crash to help clear
carbonating to 2.5 volumes of CO2.
