Mill the grains and dough-in targeting a mash of around 1.25 quarts of water to 1 pound of grain (2.6 L/kg) and a mash temperature of 150 °F (66 °C). While waiting for the run-off and boil to begin add 3 oz. (85 g) of Strata® “dip hops” directly to a clean, sanitized fermenter.
Total boil time is 60 minutes. No hops will be added until post-boil. With 30 minutes left in the boil, run un-hopped wort to the fermentation vessel with the Strata® hops at 170 °F (77 °C) until the hops are aggressively submerged (~0.5–1 gallon/2–4 L). Seal the fermenter with an airlock as soon as possible. Continue to boil the remaining wort. At 60 minutes turn off the heat and pitch your flameout addition and whirlpool for 20 minutes.
Chill the wort to lower than the target fermentation temperature. Once all the wort is in the fermenter, adjust the wort volume as needed to 5.5 gallons (21 L) and the wort temperature to 68 °F (20 °C), then aerate thoroughly and pitch yeast. Pitch rate is 1,000,000 cells per mL per degree Plato. Ferment at this temperature.
Track the gravity daily and at approximately 1.018 specific gravity dry hop with 2 oz. (57 g) each Mosaic® Cryo pellets and Citra® Cryo pellets.
Forty-eight hours later add 3 oz. (85 g) Strata® as the second dry hop. Track gravity until the beer is at terminal gravity. Chill the beer and carbonate the beer to around 2.5 volumes of CO2.
