Mash Guidelines
Amount Description Type Start Temp Target Temp Time
5.6 gal Start with steeping. This takes longer than the other processes and needs to happen in clean water for maximum efficiency. But, before steeping, add your water chemicals. Steeping 161 °F 160 °F 60 min
5.4 gal remove the steeping grains and bring to a boil. Temperature 160 °F 212 °F 5 min
5.3 gal This is technically when you strike in. The LME is already extracted. It only needs a quick boil for pasteurization. Add the LME with the heat off after reaching a boil, and mix until completely dissolved. Add the yeast nutrients and boil for 10min. Strike 212 °F 212 °F 10 min
5.25 gal Top up if necessary to 5.25gal. Flame out. Hops in. Whirlpool for 5 minutes - mostly for hops infusion without bitterness. Infusion 212 °F 190 °F 5 min

Notes

No, that's not a typo. This beer is fermented dry, but it's dessert-like; hence the name "Dry Like a Dessert." If you get the reference, then we're going to get along.

This easy LME brew day will have you second guessing whether extract beers are better than whole-grain or BIAB! BOOOMBS AWAAAAAAAY! This beer is truly a tropical fruit bomb.

Yeast - fruity!
Hops - fruity! Futier! ALL THE FRUITS! Low bitterness!
Grain - sweet, and honey!
Mouthfeel - creamy!
Alcohol - bring it on!
Water - balanced and flavorful!
Yeast nutrients - pump up that flavor!

Note: Ensure you reserve a little of the liquid to pour the hops from the kettle into the fermenter. This will aid in bio-transformation and will add to the depth of hops flavors.
