Notes

Mash at 158°F (70°C) and hold for 90 minutes. Mash out at 168°F (76°C) for 15 minutes. Ferment at 50°F (10°C) until it reaches 50% attenuation then raise the temperature 4°F per day until you reach 65°F (18°C), then let it rest at this temperature for 3 to 5 days until beer is fully attenuated and clean. Carbonate with 30 psi for 3 days at 31-34°F (0-1°C).



Primary Fermentation: 5 days at 50°F (10°C).

Secondary Fermentation: 7 days at 65°F (18°C).
