Notes

Treat 8 qt water with adjustment ingredients. Heat 3 qt to just under 170°F. Add grains and dough in to 158°F. Insulate well and stir at 20-min intervals. Top off mash after 1 hour with 180°F water to near top of 8 qt kettle (about 4 qt). Check temperature. Should be near 170°F. Hold 10-minutes with occasional stirring. Lift and drain bag with moderate squeezing. Top off kettle with remaining of the original 8 qt and start to boil. Add hops as specified. Add Irish moss. Cool with immersion chiller to <70°F. Strain into sanitized 1.4-gallon fermenter, aerate, add 1/2 packet of dry yeast, mix after 15-minute rehydration, affix airlock and hold at 68°F until fermentation ceases (at least 1 week). Transfer to second 1.4-gallon fermenter and hold 1 week. Transfer to bottling bucket with boiled corn sugar (0.8 oz in about 4 oz water) and bottle (11-12 x 12 oz bottles). Condition for at least 2 weeks (3 weeks better) at about 68°F - 72°F.
