Notes

Minimum 30 days in primary, starting at 65 degF for a week, then ramping up the temperature to 75 degF over two days and holding it there until there's no evidence of fermentation. I split the batch into two 5 gal kegs and carbonated at 15 psig (using the quick carb rolling of the keg over 3 minutes). Another week of aging in in the keg and all the off flavors are mopped up (diacetyl etc).

Enjoy the esters (from yeast), nut fruit/citrus flavors (from the hops) and bread flavors (malts).
