Notes

In the recipe, "grits" means corn meal.

Because I used corn meal, I had to make a separate cereal mash from my main mash. I used the following website for instructions on how to performa a cereal mash:
http://byo.com/component/k2/item/442-cereal-mashing-techniques

First, I took 85% of the 2-row and began my main mash as normal (150F). At the same time in a separate pot to make the cereal mash, I took the remaining 15% of the 2-row and all of the corn meal and mixed it with enough water to suspend the grains ("a thin gruel-like consistency"). I heated the cereal mash to 160F, held it for 5 minutes, then proceeded to boil it for 30 minutes. The main mash continues at 150F.

When the cereal mash is done, transfer it into the main mash and hold it at 150F for another 45 minutes.

Sparge as normal, add the LME and brew as normal.

The initial yeast activity was crazy, I had to put the fermenter in an ice bath to bring the temperature back to the desired 70F.


-------
Let the beer cold condition in the fridge for a few days..., at 40F?
