Procedure:
Bring 4.29 gallons of water up to a strike temperature of 131*F. Mash in (plus water additions and enzymes) and rest at 125*F for 30 min.; raise mash temp to 145*F and rest for 60 min.; and then again to 175*F and rest for another 30 min. Total mash time of 120 min.
Boil for 60 min., chill, and don’t forget that hopstand! Rack your wort to your fermenter of choice, pitch your yeast (I like to rehydrate mine) at 68*F, and ferment for 10-14 days.
