Notes

Step infusion mash: add 9 quarts (8.6L) of 130°F (54.5°C) water to the grains. Stir, stabilize and hold the temperature at 122°F (50°C) for 30 minutes. Add 4.5 quarts (4.3L) boiling water. Add heat to bring temperature up to 150°F (65.5°C). Hold for 60 minutes.

After conversion, raise temperature to 167°F (65°C) lauter and sparge with 4.5 gallons (17L) of 170°F (77°C) water. Collect about 6 gallons (23L) of runoff for the wort. Add bittering hops and bring to boil. Boil time is 75 minutes.

Fermenting and Conditioning
Ferment around 68°F (19°C) for four to six days. Transfer to secondary fermentor and add 0.5 oz (14g) crushed coriander seed. Age for two weeks. Condition above 60°F (15.5°C) until carbonated and clearer.
