Notes

Salt additions are for 9.5 gallons total water.

The infusion mash requires frequent stirring throughout the process. Do not just passively infuse. Stir thoroughly at mash-in and frequently throughout. Brew day is arm day. This recipe drains each infusion thoroughly before adding the next infusion. There is no sparge and no "mash-out".

Ferment until stable, rack to secondary, 3 weeks in secondary or isenglas it and give it a week then bottle.

This is not primed with DME, it is primed with wort:

6 oz Crisp Chevallier Heritage Malt
2 oz Crisp Brown Malt
1.0 oz Lyle’s Black Treacle

Mash grains in 2 quarts treated water, 150F, 45 min.
Strain into kettle, add treacle. Boil 15 min.
Cool completely and carbonate.
