Notes

"the abyssopelagic layer or pelagic zone that contains the very deep benthic communities near the bottom of oceans. "Abyss" derives from the Greek word ἄβυσσος, meaning bottomless. At depths of 4,000 to 6,000 metres (13,123 to 19,685 feet), this zone remains in perpetual darkness and never receives daylight. It is the deeper part of the midnight zone which starts in the bathypelagic waters above.[1][2]"

Sacch rest at 152F for 60 min. Stir in the rice huls prior to washing/sparging; the rice hulls will provide additional structure for the bed that you need to get the goodness washed into the kettle. Boil. Kill the flame, add the 0 min hops, swirl cover and let sit for a 60 min hop stand. Aerate, pitch and set to 68F for 12 to 17 days. Cold crash for 2 days to 37F and then bring back to 68F for dry hopping. 3 day dry hop. Bottle and condition for 21 days at 68F.
