Beginning water volume: 8.0 gallons (30.3 liters).
Malts
Pale Malt: 11 pounds (5 kg) (75.9%)
Munich Malt: 1 pound 12oz (.8 kg) (12.1%)
Crystal 60L: 12oz (340.2 grams) (5.2%)
Corn Sugar: 1 pound (.5 kg) (6.9%) (added to boil)
Mashing
We mashed at 149F (65C) for 90 minutes, then raised the temperature to 168F (75.6C) for a mashout and raised directly to a boil from there since we're using a brew in a bag (BIAB) and aren't sparging.
Boil Additions
0.60oz (17 grams) Nugget [13.00 %] - Boil 60.0 min.
Whirlfloc Tablet (Boil 15.0 mins)
1.00oz (28.35 grams) Citra [12.00 %] - Boil 15.0 min
1.00oz (28.35 grams) Mosaic [12.25 %] - Boil 15.0 min
1 pound (.45 kg) corn Sugar [Boil for 15 min]
Cooling
We used our flat plate heat exchanger to cool the wort to 170F (77C). Then we steeped 1 oz (28.5 grams) of Citra [12.00 %] for 15 minutes before cooling to pitching temp.
Fermentation
We're using California Ale (White Labs #WLP001)
We'll ferment at 66 degrees F (18.9C) for 7-10 days.
Dry Hops
We dry hopped it with 1oz (28.5 grams) of Citra [12.00 %] for 2-3 days.
