Notes

This recipe is based on the Classic Beer Styles book by Jamil Zainasheff & John Palmer. I altered the recipe to reflect the Viking grains i purchased as well as the SAF-05 dry yeast.

This reciupe uses fly sparge method, and I purposly did not adjust the water as I had almost RO water at the tap (City of North Conway, NH Public Water)

Post Brewing Note (7/6/2019): The sugar and rice caused a stuck mash. I have added rice hulls to the recipe to help alleviate this issue. I also increased grains from 9.5# ea. to 10#, as is with the sugar from 1.5# to 2#.
