Chill immediately at end of 90 min boil.

Allow to sit covered x 1 hr prior to draining to FV

OXYGENATE prior to yeast pitch.

Ferment at 50F x 7 days, then raise 2-3 F every 1-2 days until 64F or terminal gravity.

Once SG has stabilized, cold crash x 7 days adding gelatin on day 4.

Biofine 5 mL in the keg.
