Notes


Mill the grains and conduct a step mash: Mash in at 142°F (61°C) and rest 30 minutes; slowly ramp to 154°F (68°C) over 60 minutes, then rest 20 minutes; then raise to 168°F (76°C) and mash out. Lauter and sparge as necessary to get about 6.5 gallons (25 liters) of wort—or more, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil 70 minutes, adding hops according to the schedule. Chill the wort to 58°F (14°C), aerate well, and pitch plenty of healthy yeast. Ferment at 60°F (16°C). When fermentation is complete, chill to 29°F (-2°C) and lager for 2–3 weeks. Then package and carbonate to about 2.7 volumes.
