Ferment at 66 degrees for 4-5 days until fermentation dies down then bump temp up to 69-70 degrees to encourage full attenuation.

This is a recipe I've fine tuned over 3 batches. I finally hit it right on this last one and felt it was good enough to share. I've got the grain bill set to compensate for my average efficiency of 65% using BIAB.

CA Ale V yeast left a full body beer, slightly fruity. Could switch to the standard WLP001 if not a fan of this yeast. I tried a previous batch with WLP001 and it was decent, but I thought WLP051 was better.
