Original Gravity: 1.072
Final Gravity: 1.011
Extract Efficiency: 75 percent
IBUs: 90-95 (actual/not calculated)
ABV: 8.2%
SRM: 7

Directions:

Mash grains at 151-152° F (66-67° C) for an hour or until starch conversion is complete.

Mash out at 170° F (77° C) and sparge. Collect 8 gallons (30 L) of runoff, stir in dextrose, and bring to a boil.

Add hops as indicated in the recipe.

After a 90 minute boil, chill wort to 67° F (19° C) and transfer to fermenter.

Pitch two packages of yeast or a yeast starter and aerate well.

Ferment at 67° F (19° C) until fermentation activity subsides, then rack to secondary.

Add first set of dry hops on top of the racked beer and age 7-9 days, then add the second set. Age five more days then bottle or keg the beer.
