YEAST SUGGESTIONS: Wyeast #1010 American Ale, Nottingham dry yeast

Suggested Mash Temperature:
A lower mash temperature is recommended to create a more fermentable wort that will lead to an easy-drinking
beer. We suggest a mash temperature of 148° - 150°F. With lower
mash temperatures, you may extend the mash time to 75-90 minutes to ensure complete conversion.

Fermentation Schedule:
We recommend a primary fermentation of two weeks at 64° - 72°F. A secondary fermentation of one week may be used to improve clarity and reduce sedimentation, if desired.
