Notes

Mash 60 minutes at 148°F (64°C). Lauter, sparge, and collect wort. Boil 60 minutes, adding Candi Syrup at flameout. Chill to 63°F (17°C), oxygenate for 90 seconds, and pitch yeast. Ramp temperature to 73°F (23°C) over 7 days. When specific gravity falls to 1.014 (3.6°P), rack, drop to 60°F (16°C) for 10 days and then to 45°F (7°C) for 3 weeks.
