Notes

1 packet US-05 is 0.39 pitch rate.

Bring 1.25 Gal water up to 156 deg F in kettle, add grains in bag to mash water and stir thoroughly to break up dough balls. Let sit for 60 minutes; before mash is complete heat sparge water in a sauce pan or tea kettle to 180F. Remove bag from kettle and place colander in top of kettle. Turn burner to high, and sparge the grains in the colander. After sparging discard grains and continue as you would with a normal extract recipe.

Adjusted for no-chill, with extended hop boil time of 10 minutes, and smaller boil volume.
