Notes

Add
2 oz burton water salts in Mash
2 oz of yeast nutrient at 10 min
1 whirl floc at 10 min
2 vials Clarity Ferm when pitching yeast


Mash at 153 for 1 hour
Gently stir mash every 10 minutes or as required if using RIMS
For best results, ferment at 60º - 75ºF.
After gravity drops to 1.018 or less (about 4 days)
Crush up the dry hop pellets into a powder and add to fermenter
Allow to ferment and settle until action has virtually ceased and the beer has clarified.
Check gravity for 1.015 or less, and then transfer beer off dry hops in 5 - 7 days.
At this point, if you wish, you may add Grapefruit Essence to taste to step up the citrusy character in the finish of the beer. Typically use runs in the 1 - 4 oz. per 5 gallon range. Add strictly to taste.
Allow beer to age at room temperature for at least two weeks before chilling. Peak flavor should be reached about six weeks and lasts several months.

We first made this from rainwater collected from Hurricane Harvey in Houston in September 2017. Turned out amazing and now will be a staple in our rotation
