Notes

Sparge in whatever manor suits you, I noticed a bit of improved efficiency when I started doing 2 smaller batch sparges instead of one big one. I got nothing better to do, so why not.

Ferment according to the “Modified Narziss” regimen popularized by Tasty McDole (R.I.P.): pitch at 45°F (7°C), raising 1°F (0.6°C) every 12 hours until reaching 50°F (10°C); hold at 50°F until 50% of expected attenuation is realized, then raise temperature to 55°F (13°C), and raise again to 60°F (16°C) when 75% of expected attenuation is realized.
