Notes

Single-step infusion mash at 147°F (64°C). To avoid oversparging, use a thinner mash (around 3.75 gallons/14 liters of water) and adjust the sparge water accordingly.

Boil for 60 minutes, following the hops schedule.

Chill the wort to 65°F (18°C), pitch the yeast, and place the wort in a 60°F (15°C) fermentation chamber for 5–7 days. Raise the temperature to 65°F (18°C) for 1 day for a diacetyl rest. Rack the beer and age at 35°F (2°C) for 21–30 days, then keg or bottle.
