Notes

1st attempt at producing a copper ale similar to Fordham's which I always enjoyed tremendously at Union Street Public House because of its really grainy flavor - a true barley sandwich!
mash @150 for 60 min
rest @170 for 30 w/15 min recycle
OG - preboil = 1.043 (calculated @7.1 Gal = 1.056 Post poil
OG-Fermenter = 1.055
Recipe Notes
Mash for 60min at 150F to increase fermentability. Draw off 6.1 gallons of runnings, boil for 60 minutes. Allow beer to sit in primary for at least 3 weeks, then transfer to keg. Pressurize to 2.3-3.1 volumes of CO2 (12PSI @ 35F), and lager at 35F for at least four weeks before tapping and serving.
