DIRECTIONS

Mash for 60 minutes at 150°F (66°C), then lauter and sparge to a pre-boil volume of 8 gallons (30.3 liters). Boil for 3 hours, following the hops schedule, then chill the wort and pitch the yeast. Pitch at 66°F (19°C) and hold for two days, then ramp the temperature to 70°F (21°C) and ferment until the specific gravity stabilizes. Rack to secondary and bulk age for at least 1 month, then bottle or keg.
