Notes

Mash all the grains at 149°F (65°C) for 1 hour. Transfer enough wort to boil kettle for 5.5 gallons (20.82 L) at end of boil and boil 1.5 hours. At 30 minutes add first 2 hops, at 80 minutes add last hop and Whirlfloc, at 90 minutes flameout and cool to 68°F (20°C). Transfer to fermenter and add Wyeast 3787. At 2/3 into fermentation add 1.25 lb. light brown sugar. When the fermentation is finished transfer to keg and add 5 grams light brown sugar with the Lalvin yeast and let sit for 1 month at room temperature. Age for a couple of months, chill and enjoy.
