Notes

Sugar is added 5 minutes until flameout directly to the boil

1/2 minerals added at mash the other half added during the boil after sparging.

Ferment at 64 then let naturally rise into mid to high 70's to finish. Add oak once most of ferment is done before racking for 5 days.

Total water needed is 20 gallons. Mash strike temp is 9 gallons at 130. Sparge at 170 with the other 11 gallons Use Herms to keep mash range at 145 for 45 minutes then raise up to 150 for 15 minutes.
