Directions:
Mash grains at 151-152° for an hour or until starch conversion is complete. Mash out at 170° and sparge.

Collect 8 gallons of runoff, stir in dextrose, and bring to a boil. Add hops as indicated in the recipe. After a 90 minute boil, chill wort to 67° F (19° C) and transfer to fermenter.

Pitch two packages of yeast or a yeast starter and aerate well. Ferment at 67° F (19° C) until fermentation activity subsides, then rack to secondary.

Add first set of dry hops and age 7-9 days, then add the second set. Once the second dry hops are added, swirl the initial dry hops back into suspension in the fermenter and age five more days.

With two days to go on the dry hops, drop the temperature to 32°.
