Tasting Notes
Delicious, refreshing, light, wheaty, juicy
Brewhouse efficiency: 80%
ABV: 5.4%

4.5 lbs German Pilsner
4 lbs German Wheat Malt
12 oz Honey Malt
8 oz Rice Hulls
Irish moss

1 oz Galaxy 13.7%, pellet
0.75 oz Topaz 16.5%, pellet

Mash at 150F for 60 min
Water/grain 1.25 qt/lb
Double batch sparge
I rinse my rice hulls in hot water and add them at 20 min into mash.

All the hops are added post-boil for a 15 minute hopstand at about 190F. I simply put my chiller in at flameout, without turning the water on, to bring wort down to that temp.

85% phosphoric acid used to keep mash and sparge at pH 5.4. For me that's 1.5mL in the mash and 1.5mL portioned across both sparges.

Water profile:
Ca 63
Mg 4
Na 10
Cl 40
SO4 86

Carbed to 13 PSI at 35F.
