Notes

This recipe is intended to yield 5.5 gallons at the end of the boil, with 5 gallons racked into primary. Mash grains at 148°F (64°C) for 60 minutes. Sparge at 175°F (79°C) to collect 6.5 gallons (24.6 L) of wort before the boil. At the end of the boil, chill to 60°F (16°C), aerate and pitch. Ferment at 60°F (16°C) for 7-10 days, then transfer to secondary. When fully attenuated, package, condition and enjoy!
