6.5 Lbs Pale Malt, 2 row US
2.5 Lbs Munich Malt
.5 Lb Carapils
.5 Lb Crystal 30
.5 Lb Victory Malt
1 tablet of whirlflock
1 Oz Cascade (Dry Hop)
1.3 Ozs Magnum, 14.2 AAU, IBU 63.5 (75 Minutes)
1 Oz Amarillo, 9.3 AAU, IBU 11.1, (10 Minutes)
2 Ozs Amarillo, 9.3 AAU, IBU 12.2 (5 Minutes)
SafAle US-05 pitched directly in to the primary
My brew house efficiency is 81% so you may have to adjust the grain bill for your brewing efficiency. Don't let the total IBU scare you. This beer is very good.
I mash in 13 quarts of 5.4 ph water to achieve a mash at 154 degrees. BeerSmith does my calculations for mash in temperature. Mash until a full conversion occurs. This usually takes 80-85 minutes.
I fly sparge with enough water to achieve an 8 gallon boil. This seems to be the right amount of wort for the boil based on the evaporation amount in the area I live in plus the absorbtion of wort that the whole hops drinks up. I get exactly 5.5 gallons of wort in my primary.
After 21 days dry hop using your normal methods.
