Step by Step
This is a single step infusion mash. Mix all the crushed grains with 5.25 gallons (20 L) of water to stabilize the mash temperature at 155 °F (68 °C) and hold for 60 minutes. Raise the mash temperature to 165 °F (74 °C) and sparge with enough 175 °F (79 °C) water to collect approximately 6 gallons (23 L) of wort. Boil the wort for 60 minutes adding the hops at the times indicated. After the boil is complete, turn off the heat and add the flameout hop addition. Whirl-pool the wort and allow the hops to steep for about 20-30 minutes prior to chilling. Ferment at 66–70 °F (19–21 °C) until primary fermentation is complete. Add the dry hop additions and allow the beer to sit on the hops for three to five days. Bottle or keg as normal.
