Single infusion mash at 157' for 1 hour. Batch sparge and add DME before boil begins. I was going for a light body, Amber with a lot of malt flavor. 7 day primary at 164', 14 days in secondary at 164', keg and force carbonate at 10 psi for 1 week. Serve at 47'

This beer is very, VERY, good. It is very malty, smooth and nice hop balance.
