Notes

Add Corn Sugar and Lactose with 5 min left in boil.
After the boil, add first round of aroma/steeping hops at flame out. Chill to 170 degrees and steep for 40 min. Add second round at the half way- 20 min mark. Start to chill as normal to pitch temp.
Use yeast starter or 2 pkg of yeast. Add yeast nutrient. One factor that can help make your beer appear perfectly hazy is something called Biotransformation. This is where dry hops normally added a few days before packaging are added a few days into active fermentation (2-3 days after pitching, or when the Krauzen starts to drop down). The available proteins from the yeast at this early stage of fermentation permanently bind with the polyphenols from the hops. causing a permanent haze.
