DIRECTIONS

Add gypsum (calcium sulfate) to taste depending on your local water source. Mash 50 minutes at 150°F (66°C). Vorlauf (collect first runnings) until the wort runs clear. Collect 6.5 gallons (24.6 liters) and boil for 60 minutes. Add yeast nutrient at 10 minutes. Target 1.065 specific gravity. Chill to 70°F (21°C). Pitch healthy American ale yeast. Ferment at 66°F (19°C) and turn off the temperature control as fermentation vigor slows. Once desired gravity is reached, rest for a few days and dry hop for 4–6 days. Rack to a corny keg and force carbonate at 38°F (3°C) for two weeks.

Every brewery is different, depending on process, locality, equipment, etc. This should be a citric delight. Tweak and refine to taste! Have fun!
