Notes

Carafa II (De-husked) and cold steeped 24 hrs. End of boil addition

Est Pre_Boil Gravity: 1.044 SG Est OG: 1.056 SG

(Optional stepped mash: beta-amylase @145 for 15 min, alpha-amalyse @158 for 15 min, mash out @167 for 10 min.)

Ferment under pressure (15 psi max) at 65-70 F. Wait a couple extra days for diacetyl rest to finish. Rack to keg and chill into the mid 30's F. Add gelatin (after preparing per instructions). Purge CO2 from head space. Force carbonate for at least another day.

Gelatin Instructions: Boil 1/4 cup water for a few minutes to sanitize it. Allow to cool a bit (<~170 F). Mix in 1/2 tsp gelatin.
