Notes:
This recipe is sized for my stovetop, and I ferment in 5 gal bucket, then go direct to bottle. I always adjust my hops to taste, and rarely use the full oz. I like the WLP644 for the funky tropical flavors. Can rack onto fruits like mango or pineapple if desired. Increase MOPA for higher gravity, if you want a stronger brew.
-----
Mash-In 30 min @ 145; 30 min @ 154; 10 min 167 Mash-Out
Add rice hulls at end of mash. then sparge.
30 minute boil, add whirlfloc and acetic acid last 10 min.
First 2oz hops after flameout, add hops when drops to 185F then hold for 10-15 min.
Wort will be high gravity, add water to adjust to desired gravity before pitching.
