Notes: Add 500mg potassium metabisulphite to 20 gallons water to remove chlorine/chloramine (as required).
Water treated with brewing salts to: Ca=110, Mg=18, Na=16, Cl=50, S04=279
(Basically Randy Mosher's ideal Pale Ale numbers with slightly less Sulphate).
1.5 qt/lb mash thickness. Single infusion mash at 150F for 90 mins. Mashout to 168F.
60-90 min fly sparge with ~6 pH water. Collect 14.9 gallons in the boil kettle.
Boil for 90 minutes. Lid on at flameout, start chilling immediately.
Cool wort to 66F and aerate well. Ferment at 66-68F until complete.
Add dry hops once fermentation is nearing completion (ie: below 1.015). Dry hop for 7-10 days total.
Rack to brite tank (secondary), crash chill to near freezing (if possible), add 1 tsp of unflavoured gelatin dissolved in a cup of hot distilled water per 5 gallons of beer, and let clear for 2-3 days.
Package as you would normally. I keg and carbonate on the low side (around 2 to 2.2 volumes of C02) to minimize carbonic bite and let the hop/malt flavour come through.

If you prefer to use liquid yeast, either of these is an excellent choice as they are the same clean fermenting Chico strain as US-05:

Wyeast 1056 American Ale (Buy at: Amazon, MoreBeer, HighGravity, AiH, OBK)
White Labs WLP-001 California Ale (Buy at: Amazon, MoreBeer, HighGravity, AiH, OBK)

2 Weeks fermentation

♦ SESSION NOTES: Well it was so good on it's own I'm making it again and still not dry hoping it. This is a good one for people that aren't crazy for craft beer. (Now I would add the dry hops!)
Phantom didn't have 7.75 lbs Finland Wheat so I combined with American Wheat to a total of 6.75 lbs. Not dry hopping this beer on the first run.
Recipe from Zymurgy magazine. These are the one's I'm leaving out of this batch.
•0.75oz(21 g)Amarillo,8.5% a.a.(dry hop 5 days)
•0.75oz(21 g)Cascade,5.5% a.a.(dry hop 5 days)
•0.75oz(21 g)Centennial,10% a.a.(dry hop 5 days)
•0.75oz(21 g)Chinook, 13% a.a.(dry hop 5 days)
•0.75oz(21 g)CTZ, 14% a.a.(dry hop 5 days)

♦ STANDARD BREWING NOTES:
♫Create 8 gallons sparge water. Bring to 154° strike temperature. Prime pump. Pump water through hose. Add tablespoon 5.2 pH balancer
♫Add 2 drops Fermcap before adding grain.
♫Add grain – Sparge at 154° for 90 minutes (Minimum 60) (One gallon loss during sparge process) Water burn rate: 1-1/2 gallon per hour.
♫Boil clean water for end of boil session adjustment. Adjust to 5.5 water line.
•Dark beers – Add x tablespoon Calcium Carbonate
•IPA beers – Add 5 tablespoon Gypsum for IPA

WAKE UP!!!!!!
15 minutes – Add immersion chiller
15 minutes - Add Whirlfloc
10 minutes – Add 1 teaspoon Yeast Nutrient last

♦ Check to see if fermentation tank nozzle is pointed upwards

♦ KEGGING NOTES:
Purge oxygen with CO2
Chill keg 24 hours before force carbonation.
Force Carbonation Calculator: 20 psi 4 days
Volumes of CO2 2.5 at 36°F = 10.2 psi American Ales

♦ The Decoction Method
All decoction mashes start with a single infusion step where hot water is added to the mash to start the mashing process. Typical temperatures for the first step vary. Multiple step decoctions are often used. Some examples of steps include:

♥ DRINKABILITY: Great base to work from. Very light in color. Has a little citrus in character.

Notes: Infusion mash at 155 (68C) for 60 minutes. Add Hops, Chocolate and Coffee as directed. Ferment for 14 days at 65 (18C). Soak .25 oz (7 g) of Toasted French Oak chips in 1 cup of Kentucky bourbon for 2 days. Soak ground Kona coffee in 1 cup (237 ml) boiled, cooled water overnight, covered, in the refrigerator. Strain out grounds and add cold-brewed coffee and bourbon with wood chips to sanitized secondary fermenter. Rack fermented stout onto secondary and condition at 50-60 for 2 to 6 months.

Note: Something is off - I'm not getting the predicted bitterness. It should come in at 73 IBUs.

.45 per 12 oz serving.
