Mash at 150F for 60 minutes
Heat mash tun to sparge temp (168-170F) then drain into kettle as sparge water replaces first wort.
Sparge with 168F water for 15 minutes then drain into kettle.

User starter size according to yeast age to achieve correct pitching cell count.

Ferment for 4 weeks at 60-65F then transfer to serving kegs, or bottles, for carbonating.

Carbonate to 2.2 CO2 volumes.

At 5.7% ABV, this brew is easy to drink. Designed to be more of a warmer weather drinking version of my first MO SMaSH recipe. Color is really nice too.
 
Tastes damned good too. Easy to drink and light enough to really enjoy a few points before you've hit your limit... It's hard to choose between this one and my newer honey ale. Fortunately, both are on tap, and I have a spare keg of each in reserve. :D
