DIRECTIONS
Mill the other grains before adding the rice hulls. Mash at 152°F (67°C) for 90 minutes. Recirculate until the runnings are clear, then run off into the kettle. Sparge and top up as necessary to get about 6 gallons (23 liters) of wort. Boil for 60 minutes, adding hops according to the schedule. After the boil, chill to about 67°F (19°C), aerate, and pitch yeast. Ferment at 67°F (19°C) for 3 days, then let the temperature rise to 72°F (22°C). When fermentation is complete, crash, package, and carbonate to about 2.5 volumes.

For spices, we’re going to add…nothing. You can if you want. We’ll be over here, with the hops.

The best thing about the hopping for this recipe is how perfectly the hop is suited to the task, which means we use one hop in two additions. Get yourself 2 ounces (57 g) of Pacific Jade, a New Zealand hop variety that features…wait for it…lemon, orange, pepper, and herbs. It even has a healthy double-digit alpha-acid percentage. You’ll add 20–25 IBUs of it in a 10-minute addition, and whatever’s left at flame-out. Done. No spice grinder, no dried peels, no flower petals, and a bright, fruity, spicy flavor and aroma.
