Yeast: WLP530 (Abbey Ale) or Wyeast 3787(Trappist Style High Gravity)
Brew Day Instructions
Mash-in grains at 148F (64.5C) and hold for 60 minutes. Infuse with boiling water or use direct heat to reach 168F (76C) and sparge with 168F water until you have 7.5 gallons of wort in your boil kettle.
Bring to a boil for 90 minutes, adding additional sugars and hops as laid out in the recipe above.
Chill 5.5 gallons of wort to 68F (20C), transfer to fermentation vessel and pitch yeast.
Beyond Brew Day
Once active fermentation begins, allow ambient temperature to rise to 72-74F. Temperature inside the vessel will likely approach or surpass 80F at this point to promote the creation of desirable yeast character and allow the beer to reach high attenuation.
After 2-3 weeks, when terminal gravity is reached, transfer to a secondary vessel and lager at 50F (10C) for 10 weeks so that the beer can clear and mature. If you are unable to perform this step, skip straight to bottling and age at temperatures as cool as you are able (think garage, cold room, beer fridge) for 10-12 weeks after beer is sufficiently carbonated.
To bottle, dissolve 3.5oz of corn sugar (dextrose) in treated water and add to bottling bucket before beer is transferred so it will mix well as the beer flows slowly into the bucket. Pitch a packet of dry yeast into the bucket early in the transfer, and then bottle and sit at room temperature for 2-3 weeks or until beer is carbonated (open a bottle to test).
Whether you lagered before or after bottling, the beer should be ready for mid-winter enjoyment!
