Notes

Heat 30 qts treated water to 160°; reserve 15 qts for sparging. Place bag in kettle; add malts, stirring gently. Mash for 60 mins at 152°; remove grain bag from kettle, dunk bag in reserved sparge water several times; allow to drain in bucket, squeeze grain bag. Add sparge wort to kettle; bring to boil. Add kettle ingredients per schedule. Chill wort to pitching temp; transfer to fermenter; aerate 10 mins; pitch yeast. Ferment at 60° for 1-2 days. Add a handful (2−3 ozs) of unmilled wheat malt to the fermentor. Allow temp to rise to 67° over a few days; allow to ferment 18-21 days total. Package as usual.
