Notes

Target a mash pH of 5.4. Stepped infusion mash. Mash in at 144'F for 30-45 minutes, Raise to 161'F for 30-45 minutes. Vorlauf and drain first runnings into kettle.

Sparge with remaining water volume needed to hit pre-boil volume at temperature to raise mash to 170'F. In this case 13-quarts at 185'F.

After boil, chill to 48° F and pitch yeast starter. Allow to free rise to 50° F. Hold at 50° F for 7 days or until fermentation is at ~90%. Allow to rise to 60° F and hold for a 4-5 day diacetyl rest & dry-hop. After diacetyl rest/dry-hop, drop down 5°-8°F every 12 hours until 32-36°F. Hold for 2 weeks or more. Bottle at 2.5 volumes.
