Notes

Combine grains with 3 gallons 165°F water to settle at 152°F for a single step infusion. Mash 105 min. at 152°F. Sparge with 3 gallons 168°F water and collect 6 gallons of run-off. Top off to boil 7 gallons. Add bittering hops when boil commences. Add Irish Moss and immersion chiller 20 minutes before the end of the boil. Chill to 75°F and allow trub to settle for an hour with sanitized brew pot lid in place. Siphon wort off trub into 6.5 gallon glass primary fermenter, and pitch yeast slurry. Allow 2 to 3 days for primary fermentation, and rack to secondary to allow clarifying. Prime with 1 cup corn sugar, bottle and store at room temperature (at least 72°F) for two weeks. Check for carbonation, and allow additional warm storage if more carbonation is needed. Store well carbonated beer at 60-65°F until ready to drink.
