Notes

3.5 gallons @ 170, add grains and it equals out to 154, mash @ 154 for 60 minutes.
Vorlauf and collect first running.
Sparge water should be heated to 185 and should be @ 170 after added and a stir.
Let sit for 20 mins and vorlauf til desired clarity and collect 2nd running.

Boil is 60 mins

2oz East Kent @ 45mins
Irish moss @ 15 mins
1.5 pounds of Honey @ 5 mins
1.5oz Fuggles @ 1 min
Flame out and chill to 67 degrees and pitch yeast
WL California V 1liter starter was used...
2 weeks in Primary , cold crash for 1 week and Gelatin finings @ kegging
Force carbed @ 25 psi for 3 days and lowered to 5 psi and sat for 2 days

Crystal clear and a semi sweet, clean,and crisp Honey Ale unlike any I have tried, beautiful amber color and drinkable. Sneaks up on you. ABV is high and makes for less drinking and more pay out for 5 gallon batches
