Notes

Mash at 147º F for 40 minutes, allow mash to settle for 10 minutes and begin recirculation pump slowly. Increase temp to 154º F for another 20 minutes while recirculating.

Boil for 60 minutes following hop schedule.

Chill and pitch at 66ºF, adding clearzyme at pitch. Hold temp until attenuation is 70-75% completed, and then allow temp to ramp temp to 76ºF by 5ºF/day and hold for 2-5 days to mature. Cold condition by reducing temp to ≤ 40ºF for 1+ week but no more than 2 , then bottle to carbonate.
