Notes

Mill the grains and mash at 154°F (68°C) for 75 minutes. Recirculate until the runnings are clear, then run off into the kettle. Sparge and top up as needed to get about 6.5 gallons (25 liters) of wort, depending on your evaporation rate.

Boil for 60 minutes, adding hops and finings according to the schedule.

After the boil, chill to about 50°F (10°C), aerate the wort, and pitch the yeast. Ferment at 52°F (11°C) for about 5 days, then raise to 60°F (16°C) for a diacetyl rest. Once fermentation is complete and gravity has stabilized, drop to 54°F (12°C). Gradually lower the temperature to 31°F (-1°C) over 4–5 days. Lager for 3–4 weeks, then package and carbonated to about 2.6 volumes of CO2.

BREWER’S NOTES
Malt: Recent iterations of this beer have included a combination of Rahr pilsner and both pilsner and Vienna malts from our local craft maltster, Stone Path Malt in Wareham, Massachusetts.
