Notes
1. Be sure to keep the acidulated malt separate. Do not mill the rice hulls. Dough in all but the acidulated malt using 3.5 gallons of water with a target mash holding temperature of 149 °F (65 °C). Hold the mash temperature for approximately 60 minutes or until the conversion is complete. 2. Add the acidulated malt to the mash with 0.8 Gal 168°F water for an additional 45 minutes. Try to keep the temperature as close to original mash temperature as possible using an available heat source. Anything between 144–149 °F will work. 3. Raise the temperature of the mash to 168 °F and begin sparging with 170 °F water (around 6.7 Gal) until you collect 7.12 gallons of wort in the kettle. 4. The total wort boiling time for this recipe is 60 minutes. At the onset of a full rolling boil, add your scheduled hop addition. When there are 15 minutes remaining in the boil, be sure to add your Irish moss or Whirlfloc® tablet to help with precipitation of the hot break. 5. At 10 minutes remaining, add both the ground coriander seed and the 1 oz salt. 6. Cool the wort to 68 °F, transfer to your fermentation vessel and aerate the wort adequately. 7. Add the contents of your yeast starter to the chilled wort. Ferment around 68 °F until the final gravity is reached, which should be in 5 to 7 days. Rack to a secondary vessel and allow the beer to mature another 5 to 7 days around the same temperature. Your beer is now ready to rack into a keg or bottles along with the priming sugar 8. Note that IBU is 10.23, not 12. 9. You need about 1/3 of headspace in the fermenter. 10. I used 1.33 Q water /lb of grains for mashing and I think my mash was quite thin. Might reconsider to 1.25 or so.

Unfortunately, I did not hit the OG I targeted. I needed to add about 0.6 lb DME to get it to 1.05. Other than that, everything else came out ok so far. The beer is ready for secondary in a week.

It tastes great. I should have lagered it earlier to make it more crisp. It is quite refreshing. Will make it again.
