Notes

Soak 1 teaspoon of Irish moss in a cup of warm water and let it rehydrate for at least a few hours before use. Add at 10 min. Also add yeast nutrient at 10 min.

Bring 5.5 gallons of water to about 162°F (72°C) and hold. Steep the grains for 15 minutes, then remove the bag and allow to drain into the wort. Add the DME while stirring and stir until completely dissolved.

Boil for 60 minutes and whirlpool for 10 minutes following the hops and additions schedule. Pitch the yeast and ferment at 67°F (19°C) until gravity reaches 1.020–1.024, then add the amyloglucosidase enzyme (used White Labs Ultra-Ferm WLN4100-HB) directly to the fermentor and allow the temperature to rise slowly to 72°F (22°C) by the end of fermentation to ensure full attenuation. When fermentation reaches terminal gravity (1.000–1.002), add the first dry-hop additions. Three days later, dump the first hops additions and add the second dry-hop additions for another 3–4 days. Package at 2.7–2.9 volumes of CO2 and consume fresh.
