Notes

This is 3 Floyd's Brewing Co.'s Alpha King clone.

Step by Step:
Mash grains in 17 quarts(16L) water to get a single infusion mash temperature of 154F for 45 minutes. Sparge with hot water of 170F and collect 7 gallons of wort. Boil for 2 hours to reduce wort volume to 5 gallons. Add hops and Irish Moss at time indicated. Cool, aerate and pitch yeast. Ferment at 68F until fermentation ceases, then rack to secondary with dry hops for another week. Bottle or keg and leave at fermentation temperature for a few days. Drop the temperature to 40F for 1 week, then if possible go to 34*F for another week.
