MASH STEPS

Mash Temp: 148 F
Mash Time: 75 min
Mash Note: Single infusion mash, Light Body, No Mash Out.
I use the quick lager technique. 4 days @55 F. When attenuation is about 50%,
raise it to 70 F until attenuation is finished. Once fermentation is over, I dry hop
and cold crash for 5 – 7 days. I do not step the temp up incrementally or crash
incrementally or crash incrementally. I set i and forget it. I do seal my fermenters
so I don’t get suck-back.
Water treatment needs to b light and hop forward.
Sparge: Fly sparge at 170 F
