Step by step
Heat 13.9 qts. (13.1 L) of strike water to 162 °F (72 °C) and mix with grains. The mash should stabilize at about 149 °F (65 °C). Hold at this temperature for 60 minutes, then raise temperature to mash out at about 168 °F (76 °C), either by infusion of boiling water, decoction, or other means. Vorlauf until wort runs clear then begin the sparge process. Collect 7 gallons (26.5 L) and bring to a boil. Total boil time is 75 minutes, adding additions as indicated. After boil is complete, turn off the heat, add final hop addition, and give a long stir to create a whirlpool. Rest for 15 minutes.
Chill the wort to 75 °F (23 °C). There should be about 5.5 gallons (21 L) of wort in your fermenter. Add yeast and aerate wort if using liquid yeast. Place your fermenter in a warm place in the 80–90 °F (26–32 °C) range. Allow to ferment for four weeks, or until a stable gravity is reached. Bottle or keg after fermentation is complete, targeting a carbonation level of 2.8 v/v.
