General Info
Substitute Victory Malt for the Honey Malt if possible. Maris Otter base malt would be excellent as well.
Made a quick starter to rouse yeast a bit. Smelled great when the Amarillos were added... Racked to primary (July 29, 2007). Racked to secondary (August 6, 2007). Racked to keg and took FG (August 14, 2007). Conditioned cool (66° F) for two weeks and then cold conditioned for another two weeks before tapping. Initial pint was a OK - will need to carbonate a bit more. Malty with a kick of hops that should mellow a bit as it ages (September 7, 2007).
Procedure
- Single infusion mash at 153° for 60 minutes.
- Batch sparge with 4.0 gallons of 167° water.
- 90 minute boil.
- Add hops according to schedule
- Cool wort to 75 degrees and pitch yeast.
