Mash in at 154°F (68°C) for 1 hour, then sparge with 170°F (77°C) hot liquor for 6.5 gallons (24.6 liters) of wort.

BREWER’S NOTES

I added 2 ounces (57 grams) of yeast nutrient to the primary fermentation carboy. I pitched the yeast at 65°F (18°C). Primary fermentation was 7 days, then I racked to a second carboy for 10 days. I primed with ½ cup corn sugar and bottled. I recommend allowing longer fermentation because of the honey. I also recommend filtering.
