Notes

Color wrong by calculator. "Calculator did not list" Added in 2 pounds of flaked oats into original grain bill total of 16lbs. floated corriander and orange peel in muslin @ last 10 min. and tossed in irish moss, then let rest 10 minutes after boil, cooled and rest another 30 min. transfer and leave behind trub. DON'T USE AIRLOCK (USE BURP TANK), after primary fermantation, siphon off into carboy and do a yeast wash (SAVE), mature beer for 1-3 weeks @ 32-40 degrees and the washed yeast in quart bottle. remove beer from fridge, let beer return to 77 degrees, make yeast starter out of washed yeast (24 hours prior), siphon beer off while straining and pitch starter for secondary process. I no alot of special tricks but this came from the Brasserie du Bocq brewing process for "Corsendonk Brewery Procedures" slightly modified by myself.
