Notes

1. Pacific Jade was used as the bittering hop, not Pacific Gem. 2. The Styrians were added 20 minutes after the boil finished and steeped for 20 minutes. 3. I used Demerera sugar. I dissolved it in some hot wort first and added it about 30 minutes into the boil. MASH SCHEDULE Mashed in to 16L of 76 degres C water - target temp 69 degrees C. Mashed 90 minutes. Infused 8 litres of 95 degrees C water to bring temp up to 75 Degrees C and mash out. Sparge to collect 25L of wort. 90 minute boil. Crash cooled using wort chiller. Fermented at 20 degrees C.
