Notes

100 ppm Ca, 70 ppm Cl, 150 ppm SO4

Original Gravity: 1.056 (13.8° P)
Final Gravity: 1.014 (3.5° P)
ABV: 5.60%
IBU: 45
SRM: 6

Ferment in primary for 3 days at 66° F (19° C). If possible, dry hop using a stainless steel dry hopping canister (it helps to add a layer of leaf hops on top of the pellets to contain the small particles). With about 1° P remaining, perform a closed transfer to a keg and attach a spunding valve, then allow to carbonate/finish. Otherwise ferment in primary to terminal gravity and rack/package as usual.
