WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

We brew this with a full boil volume of 5 gallons of spring water

  1. Bring 5 gal. of water to 155 - 160 degrees and then steep 1 lb. of crystal 10L malt and 1 lb of 2-row malt for 25 minutes.
  2. Bring pot to a boil and then turn off heat and add 6 lb. of Extra Pale DME and 6 lb. of Amber LME. Stir constantly and once dissolved, return heat.
    =======================
    60 minute boil
    =======================
  3. Add 1 oz. of Mosaic hops (pellets) and 3.5 oz. of Centennial hops (pellets) at 60 minutes.
  4. Add 1 oz. of Magnum hops (pellets) at 45 minutes.
  5. Add 1 oz. of Citra hops (whole leaf) and 1 oz. of Cascade hops (whole leaf) at 15 minutes.
  6. Once 60 minute has completed, remove from stove and cool wort to 70 - 75 degrees. Take a hydrometer reading. Your target OG should be 1.089. Experience tells us that about 1 gallon of liquid will burn off, so you OG might be 1.11. Add 1 gallon of spring water and you should reach your target OG.
  7. Pour into primary fermentator.
  8. Aerate/Stir the wort.
  9. Add yeast starter or enough yeast vials to hit target of 404 billion cells. Target attenuation should be 75% before you siphon into secondary fermentation. Aim for 9 to 11 days in primary fermentation. Be very prepared for blowoffs!
  10. Siphon into secondary fermentater for 8 to 10 days. Take another gravity reading.
  11. After secondary is complete, you are ready for bottling. We are aiming for 1.6 vols of CO2, so we will add 1/4 cup of dme into a saucepan with 2 and 1/2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Let mixture cool and then pour into a bottling bucket.
  12. Siphon beer from secondary fermentator into bottling bucket.
  13. Pour into bottles.
  14. Let bottles sit at room temp for 10 days. Next, move bottles into fridge and let them sit for 10 days.
  15. Enjoy.
