DIRECTIONS
Mill the grains and mix with the rice hulls. Add 2.9 gallons (11 liters) of 163°F (73°C) strike water to reach a mash temperature of 152°F (67°C). Hold there for 60 minutes. Vorlauf until the runnings are clear. Sparge the grains with 4.4 gallons (16.7 liters), topping up as necessary to obtain 6 gallons (23 liters) of wort. Boil for 60 minutes, following the hops schedule. After the boil, chill the wort to slightly below fermentation temperature, about 65°F (18°C), and pitch the yeast. Ferment at 66°F (19°C) until the completion of primary fermentation, then bottle or keg and carbonate to about 2.5 volumes.
