Notes

German Style Blonde Ale (Recipe Notes)

Hop Flameout for 15min at 80°C if possible, otherwise 30g at 5 minutes during boil. (No dry hop)
Fermentation Temperature: 18–20°C
When fermentation is finished (FG is stable), wait at least 3 days before cold crash and priming. (Important to avoid diacetyl off-flavors)
When priming, dissolve 172g of sugar in 200ml of water and boil 5 minutes to sterilize it. Afterwards add it to the fermenter; be careful not to move the yeast cake on the bottom when stirring the sucrose and water solution.
