INSTRUCTIONS
-
Step 1
Perform an infusion mash to achieve a mash temp of 143°F/62°C for 20 min.
-
Step 2
Second mash temp of 162°F/72°C for 20 min..
-
Step 3
Runoff into the kettle and sparge with 170°F/76°C water.
-
Step 4
Vorlauf until the wort has cleared and is free of grain particles.
-
Step 5
Runoff into the kettle and sparge with 180°F/82°C water.
-
Step 6
Bring the wort to a boil.
-
Step 7
After 45 min, add Whirlfloc for clarity and yeast nutrient for yeast health.
-
Step 8
After 60 min, turn off the burner. Let the wort cool to about 204°F/96°C. Add the whirlpool hop additions.
Note: All whirlpool additions are calculated based on a 15 minute whirlpool starting at 204°F/96°C. -
Step 9
Gently create a whirlpool in the kettle.
-
Step 10
Quickly cool the wort to 64°F/18°C, aerate it, and transfer in into a sanitized fermenter.
-
Step 11
Pitch the appropriate amount of yeast and add either an airlock or blowoff tube to the fermenter.
-
Step 12
Dry Hop 1: Add hops at middle of active fermentation, with approximately 1.024-1.032 specific gravity left before final gravity.
-
Step 13
Dry Hop 2: After final gravity has been reached, dry hop for 2 days at 72F°/22° C, rouse once after 24 hours with CO2.
-
Step 14
Elevated hopping rates tend to produce hop creep often resulting in diacetyl production. After beer passes forced diacetyl test,
drop temperature to 32° F/ 0° C.
