Process Details

  • Mash in at 122°F for a 30-minute protein rest.
  • I did an intermediate rest at 135°F for 15 minutes, but if youre not using DeWolf-Cosyns malt, I would advise skipping this step.
  • Saccharification rest is at 152 °F for an hour
  • 165 °F mash-out for 15 minutes.
  • Sparge with 170°F water until you collect about 6.5 gallons of wort.
  • Boil for an hour, bittering with the Bullion and adding the Hallertau for a bit of flavor.
