Notes

On brew day, the first gallon of mash runoff is run into a separate pot. Boil it down to a thick syrup, about a pint in volume, while the rest of the brew session takes place. Add the boiled down portion back to the kettle with the rest of the wort at the end of the main wort boil. Pitch the slurry from 3 qt. yeast starter and ferment the beer at 55-60F until fermentation is complete.
