Step by Step
Be sure to avoid dried curry leaves as they have little to no flavor or aroma. Mash at 152 °F (67 °C). Batch sparge in two steps (3 qts./3 L and 5 qts./5 L) in 168 °F (76 °C). Add water to achieve boil volume of 2.7 gallons (10.2 L). Cool and transfer wort and add water up to 5 quart (5 L) and pitch yeast at a target gravity of 1.043. Ferment at 67 °F (20 °C) and add the second addition of curry leaves for the final two days. Approximate fermentation time in primary and secondary is two weeks.
