General Info
English malt, British yeast, German and American hops. I intended to buy Willamette hops but wound up, unknowingly, with Mt. Hood. So, since they are an American version of Hallertaur, I decided to go with German-inspired hops because I had some Magnums laying around.
Procedure
- Single infusion mash at 152° for 60 minutes.
- 60 minute boil, adding hops according to schedule.
- Ferment at 65-68° for 7-14 days.
- Condition at 50-55° for 35 days.
