Notes

Mash the grains at 147F for 60 minutes. Sparge into your boil kettle and top up the kettle to six gallons and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add bittering hops.
After 45 minutes, add the flavor/aroma hops and Irish Moss.
After another 15 minutes, turn off the heat, stir very well or whirlpool, then chill as close to 60°F as possible.
Rack to fermenter and pitch yeast.
Ferment at 60°F for up to two weeks. Bottle or keg the beer and carbonate to 2.5 volumes of CO2.
