Notes

Mill the grains and mash in with 159°F (71°C) water at a ratio of 1.25 quarts/lb (2.6 liters/kg) to target a mash temp of 148°F (64°C).

Mash for 45 minutes. Recirculate until the runnings are clear (about 15 minutes), then run off into the kettle. Sparge and top up as necessary to get about 6.5 gallons (25 liters) of wort, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil for 90 minutes, adding hops, nutrient, and Whirlfloc according to the schedule.

After the boil, chill to about 50°F (10°C), aerate the wort, and pitch the yeast. Ferment at 50°F (10°C) for a few days, then allow to free rise to 58°F (14°C). When the gravity has dropped to about 1.016 (4°P), add dry hops for 3 days. Once the beer reaches terminal gravity, crash by 10°F (5°C) per day until you reach 34°F (1°C). Drop trub and rack. Package and carbonate to 2.5–2.7 volumes of CO2.

BREWER’S NOTES
Water: At Flix El Paso we start with RO water and, for this beer, add the equivalent of about 0.5 g of calcium sulfate and 1.5 g of calcium chloride.
