MY NOTE: add 1 gal of water to strike water total to account for initial mash dead space under my false bottom to insure my grains are not too thick when mashing.
All the wort is recoverable after under the false bottom after, we want to achieve 6.5 gal to the kettle.

Notes

Original recipe calls for 0.5 lbs of Crystal 300 malt (115 L) good luck in finding, I am using Simpsons Crystal Dark - my package says between (94.3 - 107.4 L) so, I may use a bit more than .5 lb in my recipe.

Original recipe calls for: OG=1.056 FG=1.012 IBU=30 SRM=12 ABV=5.7 ---- This is more than possible if your efficiency is above 70%,

strike water - 3.6 gal at 166F to achieve mash temp of 151F 60 min mash, then 6.5 gal of wort to kettle.

When fermentation is done, drop to 61deg F, add dry hops.

IBUs are low in my recipe as posted - this recipe builder can't account for the 3 oz of 5 day dry hopping I surmise....

carbonate to approx 2.0 volumes as per original recipe states.

original recipe is for 5 gal final, my recipe is for 5.25 gal final without tweaking any original recipe amounts.
