Notes

Mash in at 145 °F (63 °C) for 30 minutes. Raise to 158 °F (70 °C) for additional 30 minutes. Mash out at 168 °F (76 °C) if possible. Collect 6.5 gallons (24.6 L) of wort and boil for 60 minutes. Add Cluster or Northern Brewer hops at beginning of boil. Add Hallertau at knockout. Cool wort and transfer to fermenter. Aerate and pitch yeast. Ferment at 52 °F (11 °C) for two weeks, then lager just above freezing in secondary for six weeks.
