Notes

C-Void is an anagram for COVID. ;-)

A Sierra Nevada Pale Ale clone.

This recipe is based on ingredients I had on hand, like my home-grown 2019 Cascade hops and Admiral Maltings Admiral Pils malt.

Prep a 1-liter starter 24-hours prior to brew day.

I have a pump system and initiate a gentle Vorlauf during the mash rest.

-Heat strike water to target temp after making grain temp adjustment.
-Mash-in and hold for 60 minutes at 155-F.
-Raise temp to 170-F, hold for 5-minutes.
-Fly sparge gently until boil kettle volume of 7 gallons is reached.
-Boil for 90-minutes following hop additions.
-Add crushed Whirlfloc tab during the last 15-minutes of the boil.
-Whirlpool late edition hops at flame-out for 20-minutes.
-Chill wort to yeast pitch temp (68-73).
-Transfer to fermentor and pitch yeast.
-Primary fermentation should finish in 5-7 days.
-Transfer to keg, add finings, cold-crash and carb.
-Allow to condition for 4-6 weeks
