Mash: 85% efficiency
single step mash around 155deg f. for 1.5hr.(+-)
when iodine test passes start runnoff and sparge.
I usually put half of starting hops in with mash.
Boil: 60 minutes SG 1.045 17.0 gallons
2.0 lb. Honey
add irish moss per. instructions on package
after heat is shut off and before cooling add honey-
if the honey is added wile still boiling it can harm the flavor.
stir well then cool to around 60-80deg f.

1.0 oz. Hallertauer (4.25% AA, 45 min.)
1.0 oz. Hallertauer (4.25% AA, 30 min.)
1.0 oz. Hallertauer (4.25% AA, 15 min.)
1.0 oz. Saaz (aroma)
Yeast: use one qt. of either california ale yeast or lauger yeast
both will work,It depends on the availabe temps.
Log: with ale yeast ferment around 67deg
with lauger yeast shoot for about 50deg
on primary and secondary.
both cycles run about a week
then bottle for two to three weeks
try breaking with tradition and using clear
bottles, the different colors get interesting.(see carbonation section)
Carbonation: 2.6 volumes Corn Sugar: 8.92 oz. for 10.0 gallons @ 63°F
use one jolly rancher per 12oz bottle.
be creative,and have some fun- try some of every flavor.
don't lable them and when they are ready see who can identify
which flavor is which. Loads of fun at brew club meetings or parties
Tasting: have fun
