Notes

Brewing Process

  1. Mash @152 degrees for 60 min - No mash out this batch.

  2. Pull grain basket from the kettle - let set for 10 min.

  3. Raise temp to 207 degrees to boil for 60 min.

  4. Hop/Fining Additions
    1) @60 min - 1 oz. Motueka
    2) @15 min - 1 oz. Motueka
    3) @15 min - 2 tablets of Whirlfloc
    4) @5 min - 1 oz. Motueka
    5) @Flame out - 1 oz. Motueka
    Whirlpool - circulate the wort for 15 min. while temp. drops naturally
    *We used 2 hop baskets which might make the beer more 'limey' because of Motueka hop profile. If too 'limey,' use less hops.
