Notes

DIRECTIONS
Mill the grains, mix in the rice hulls, and mash at 152°F (67°C) for 75 minutes. Recirculate until the runnings are clear, then run off into the kettle.

Sparge and top up as needed to get about 6 gallons (23 liters) of wort.

Boil for 60 minutes, adding the hops according to the schedule. After the boil, chill to about 64°F (17°C), aerate the wort, and pitch the yeast. Ferment at 65°F (18°C) for 7 days, then allow a rise to about 68°F (20°C) for another week or until fermentation is complete and the gravity has stabilized.

Crash, package, and carbonate to 2.5 volumes of CO2.
