Mill the grains. Dough in using 2.5 gal lons
(9.5 L) of water with a target mash
holding temperature of 152 °F (67 °C}.
Hold the mash temperature for approximately
60 minutes or until the conversion
is complete. Raise the temperature of
the mash to 168 oF (76 °C} and begin
sparging with 170 oF (77 oq water until
you collect 6.0 (23 L) gallons of wort in
the kettle. The total wort boiling time for
this recipe is 60 minutes. At the onset of
a fu ll roll ing boil add your scheduled hop
addition. When there are 10 minutes
remaining in the boil, add the second
hop addition and be sure to add your
Irish moss or whirfloc tablets to help with
precipitation of the hot break. At flameout,
prior to cooling the wort, add the
final hop addition. Cool the wort to 70 oF
(21 °C}, transfer to your fermentation
vessel and aerate the wort adequately.
Add the contents of your yeast starter (if
using liquid yeast) to the chi lled wort.
Ferment around 70 °F (21 oq until the
final gravity is reached, which should be
in 5 to 7 days. Rack to a secondary vessel
and allow the beer to mature another
5 to 7 days around the same temperature.
Rack into a keg or bottle along with
the priming sugar.
