Recipe from book "Brewing Classic Styles".

Strike Vol. = 8.25 gallons at 157 degrees F
Mash temp = 151 degrees F for 60 minutes
SG = 7.5 gallons = 9.2 brix = 1.0367 g/L
OG = 11.3 Brix = 1.0454 g/L
FG = 5.8 Brix = 1.010 g/l after correction
hydrometer = 1.010 g/l after correction

Let yeast hydrate for 20 minutes in 100 degree water then stirred and waited 5 minutes before pitching into carboy while beer was emptying from kettle. Wort was 64 degrees F. Oxygenated via stirring while cooling and splattering into carboy.
