Notes

This is the 2023 Big Brew Day Recipe from the AHA. I did not see it when I searched for recipes, so I am adding it. https://www.homebrewersassociation.org/homebrew-recipe/nearly-nirvana-pale-ale/

Mash grains for 1 hour at 156–158°F (69–70°C).
Mash out at 168°F (76°C) for 15 minutes.
Boil 75 minutes, adding hops as indicated.
Ferment at 66–70°F (19–21°C) for two weeks and then keg or bottle
