INSTRUCTIONS


  • Step 1

    Perform an infusion mash to achieve a mash temp of 153°F/67°C for 60 min

  • Step 2

    Vorlauf until the wort has cleared and is free of grain particles.

  • Step 3

    Runoff into the kettle and sparge with 180°F/82°C water.

  • Step 4

    Bring the wort to a boil.

  • Step 5

    After 45 min, add Whirlfloc for clarity and yeast nutrient for yeast health.

  • Step 6

    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 7

    Gently create a whirlpool in the kettle.

  • Step 8

    Quickly cool the wort to 68°F/20°C, aerate it, and transfer in into a sanitized fermenter.

  • Step 9

    Pitch the appropriate amount of California Ale Yeast and add either an airlock or blowoff tube to the fermenter.

  • Step 10

    Add first dry hops at the middle of active fermentation, with approximately 1.024 – 1.032 specific gravity left before final gravity.

  • Step 11

    After final gravity has been reached, add second Dry Hop for 2 days at 72°F/22°C.

  • Step 12

    After 2-3 days and the beer has passed forced diacetyl test, cool the fermenter to 32°F/0°C. Transfer to a keg and carbonate or bottle condition.
