Notes
Rest 15 min at 130 F Sach rest at 149-150 F. 90 min boil. .5 oz. Spalt hops at knock out. Add 2 lb. sugar with 5 minutes left in the boil to prevent carmelization. Hop utilization will be greater than the program indicates. Primary fermentation Upward rising from 64 F. to 80°F for 7 to 10 days - Transfer to secondary, drop temp to 39°F over two days, and cold-condition for three weeks - Drop to 26.6°F for 2 days complete precipitation of the yeast - Rack, add fresh yeast (Same as Primary), and add 3/4 lb. light fruit blossom honey to effectively boost gravity to 1.073-4 (I assume let this ferment out) - Add priming sugar, bottle, and condition for eight to 14 days at 75°F
