Step by Step
You want to mash this beer with a water ratio of 1.25 quarts of water per pound of grain (2.6 L/kg). Mash at 152 °F (67 °C) for 90 minutes. It should still attenuate very well, even with a higher mash temperature than the Kiwanda Cream Ale. Boil the wort for 90 minutes. Boil the first hop addition for the last 60 minutes; boil the next hops for the last 30 minutes. Add the final hops, coriander and orange at knock-out. Give the wort a long stir to create a whirlpool and let settle for 15 minutes. Cool the wort, aerate and pitch yeast. Ferment at 68 °F (20 °C) for one week, then rack to secondary. Bottle after one week with three-quarters cup of corn sugar.
