BREWING NOTES

Mash at 156°F (69°C) with 1.5 qt./lb. of strike water (3.1 L/kg) for 60 minutes. Vorlauf until wort runs clear. Sparge with enough water to get about 6.25 gallons (23.6 L) of wort in the kettle.

Bring to a boil and add the bittering hops. The total wort boil time is 60 minutes. Add Irish moss with 15 minutes remaining and yeast nutrient with 10 minutes remaining. After 60 minutes, remove kettle from heat and hop stand addition.

After 20 minutes, chill the wort to yeast pitching temperature and pitch the yeast by sprinkling on top. Ferment at 52°F (11°C) for 3 weeks. Transfer to secondary to lager at 34°F (1°C) for 10 weeks.

Transfer to bottling bucket, add priming sugar, and bottle. Bottle condition at 70°F (21°C) for three weeks.
