Special Instructions

1.
In a 7 gallon pot, heat 6 gallons of H2O to 160 degree – 170 degrees a brewing step here
2.
Add malts/grains to mash ton. Add the heated water to the mash ton.
3.
Use a thermometer to measure the temperature. Ideally we wanted the temperature to maintain 150-155 degrees for 1 hour.
4.
Run off the dark/cloudy wort until it’s running clear. Use a pitcher to view the wort. Reinvest the wort being test back into the mash ton.
5.
Begin sparging by heating the water to 170-180 degrees.
6.
Sparge at the rate of ¾ of a gallon/3 minutes..keep it above the grain bed.
7.
Run off the wort until the fermentation bucket is close to 6 gallons. Transfer the wort to a SS boil pot. Bring the wort to a rolling boil.
8.
Once at the boil point, added a. Initial hop addition = 1 oz. of Citra b. @ :45 minutes left = 2 oz. Cascade c. @ :30 minutes left = 1 oz. Columbus d. @ :15 minutes added 1 tsp. of Irish Moss e. @ :10 minutes added 1 oz. Citra
9.
After 1:00 of boiling. We cooled the Beer in the boil pot by using the cooling coil system and a garden hose (SANITIZED).
10.
Within 10 minutes, we moved the temperature from 212 degrees to 75 degrees.
11.
We then transferred the Beer to the fermentation bucket (SANTATIZED). We used a strainer (SANATIZED) to strain out the hop residue and used a plastic spoon (SANATIZED) to press the liquid through.
12.
Took a hydrometer reading at OG..1.075
13.
We placed the lid on the Beer and shook it vigorously for 45-55 seconds to allow for aeration before adding the yeast. a brewing step
14.
We added the yeast (SANTATIZE BAG & SCISSORS), replaced the lid and gave it a few turns and twists.
15.
Next, we added the SANTATIZED airlock, added water to the ‘fill line” and placed the bucket in a dark, cool area.
16.
Noticed after 1 day we had no activity with the fermentation. However, after 36 hours there was a ton of activity to the point that I changed the fermentation lock to a hose.
17.
Day 4 produced little to no activity. Thus, I switched back to the fermentation lock.
