Notes

DIRECTIONS
Do a single-infusion mash at 149°F (65°C) for 75 minutes. Raise the temperature to 168°F (76°C) for mash-out; lauter and sparge to get about 6.8 gallons (25.7 l) of wort. Boil for 90 minutes and whirlpool, following the hops & additions schedule. Chill to about 68°F (20°C), aerate the wort, and pitch the yeast. Ferment at 68°F (20°C). When fermentation is complete, add the spices to a small amount of 195°F (91°C) water to sanitize and add to the beer before packaging or wood-aging.


BREWER’S NOTES
Try aging the beer with oak cubes that have soaked in whiskey combined with honey or maple syrup to approximate Odd Side’s barrel-aged version of the beer.
