Notes

Mash at 154F for 1 hour. For more flavor, add the whole ounce of hops to the kettle as you sparge the mash, so the hops soak the time it takes to come up to a boil and the whole boil of 60min, this is the first wort hop. Otherwise boil for 5 mins, add hops and boil for another 60.

Don't cheat on aeration.

Pitch and set the fermentation at 58F for 7 days, raise to 65F for another week and then move to a sealed keg and leave on basement floor ideally for 2-3 weeks at 48F.

After that chill and check on carbonation level.
