0.4 oz (12 g) Willamette [4.5%] at 30 minutes
0.3 oz (9 g) Willamette [4.5%] at 0 minutes

YEAST

A neutral ale yeast such as Chico (Wyeast 1056 or White Labs WLP001) or a more ester-forward English strain

DIRECTIONS

Mash at 154°F (68°C). Adjust water accordingly for a more CaCl2-forward mash for a more malt-forward beer. (If you use an English yeast strain, mash at 151°F/66°C for a bit more attenuation and less residual sugar and body in your finished beer.) Ferment at 63°F (17°C) for 2 days, then ramp the temperature to 68°F (20°C) until final gravity is reached.

Cold crash for 10 days, then rack and bottle and/or keg to 2.5 volumes of CO2.
