Notes

This recipe is designed with the following targets in mind, given directly from the head brewer at Founders:

10% Carapils, 5% Munich, 5% crystal 60, 2.5% caramunich
16.5 Plato (1.068 SG)
65 IBU
Massive flavor strike and dry hopping (obviously Centennial)

In the end I think it comes pretty close and turns out to be a delicious brew! I'm using Magnum for the bittering given it's high alpha, it's usually my go-to bittering hop. But this could be done with exclusively Centennial (like Two Hearted) if that is preferred.

July 2022 note: ramped it up to 5 gallons
