BREWER’S NOTES

Ferment at 77°F (25°C) for at least 13 days, and keep that temperature up any way you can (brew belts work great, or see “Heat Up Your Fermentation” in Paul Zocco's Biere de Quattro Recipe for instructions for a simple hot fermentation box). Rack off of yeast on day 7 and dry hop. Rack and bottle condition on day 13 if the final gravity has reached 1.010 or below.

Recipe is built to yield a batch size of 5 gallons (19 liters) and assumes 72% brewhouse efficiency.
