Notes

Mash at 150F for an hour. FWH added as boil approaches 160F.
Add 0 min boil hops and let stand for 45 minutes. Aroma hops added during chilling as temp approaches 160F.
Drop the temp Pitch and Ferment at 68F for the first two days, raising to 70F over the next two. When krausen begins to fall, transfer to co2 flushed dry hops in keg. Purge headspace a few times, put a few psi on the keg and let fermentation finish out. 10 to 14 days total. Cold crash and push out any trub, then force carb. Should be really tasty in the next 5 days. Fresh is best!
