Notes

Directions
Mash at 150°F (66°C) for 90 min. Target mash pH of 5.3. Batch or
fly sparge for 15 to 30 min. Boil 90 min. Begin chilling. Add whirlpool hops when wort reaches 190°F (88°C) and whirlpool 30 minutes while continuing to chill wort to 60–62°F (16–17°F), then aerate and pitch yeast. Dry pitching without rehydration is recommended (more straightforward process, more consistent fermentation performance, and reduced risk of contamination). Ferment 21 days in primary at 60–62°F (16–17°C), then dry hop for 4 days. Keg with 3.5 oz. (99 g) of corn sugar in a simple syrup (mixture of water and sugar, typically 1:1) and allow carbonation to develop over 2 weeks. Crash cool to 30°F (-1°C) and hold 2 weeks, then age until ready to serve
