Special Instructions

1.
Heat 2 gallons of strike water to 158-160F.
2.
Steep grains in a mash bag at 146-150F for 60 minutes.
3.
Drain and sparge with 170F water to yield 3 gallons. Allow grain bag to drain for 10-15 minutes.
4.
Add half packet of Burton Water Salts (4.5g) and heat to 180F for 10 minutes.

Chill wort to 105F. Test wort PH. Add lactic acid until wort is between 4.2 and 4.8 PH. (NOTE 2 oz is an estimate)
