Mash Guidelines
Amount Description Type Start Temp Target Temp Time
3 qt While steeping, heat 2.4 gallons of water to 150 degrees. After steep, remove .83 gallons of water and add it to the heated water. Rinse the grains with the heated water through a colander. Temperature -- 150 °F 60 min

WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

In a large soup pot, heat 3.0 quarts (2.8 L) of water to 161 °F (72 °C). Add crushed grains to grain bag. Submerge bag and let grains steep around 150 °F (66 °C) for 45 minutes. While grains steep, begin heating 2.4 gallons (9.1 L) of water in your brewpot. When steep is over, remove 0.83 qts. (0.78 L) of water from brewpot and add to the "grain tea" in steeping pot. Place colander over brewpot and place steeping bag in it. Pour grain tea (with water added) through grain bag. Heat liquid in brewpot to a boil, then stir in dried malt extract, add first charge of hops and begin the 60 minutes boil. With 15 minutes left in boil, add hops and Irish moss, then turn off heat. At the end of the boil, add last charge of hops, cool wort and transfer to fermenter.
