Notes

RECIPE TIPS

For the extract version, add the whole hops with
your specialty grains and steep per the extract
brewing instructions, then begin your 90-minute
boil with the bittering hop addition. With 60
minutes remaining, turn off the heat, stir in your
malt extract and maltodextrin, turn the heat
back on, and proceed with the boil. For the allgrain version, add the whole hops directly to your
mash tun. The suggested mash temp is 151°F.
Add 1 lb of corn sugar for the last 10 minutes
of the boil. We recommend a fermentation
temperature in the 66–68°F range. Add dry hops
after fermentation is complete, allow 3–7 days
of contact time before packaging.
