INGREDIENTS

Grain Bill:
- 8 lbs Pilsner
- 1 lb Flaked Wheat Malt
- 8 oz Carapils
- 8 oz Corn Sugar

Hops:
- 1 oz Lemondrop - 60 mins
- 1 oz Lemondrop - 30 mins
- 1 oz Lemondrop - Flameout

Yeast:
- 1 Packet of Dry Yeast (Safale BE-134)

Also Included:
- 5 oz Priming Sugar
- 1x Muslin Grain Bag

INSTRUCTIONS

Mash:
Heat 1.25qt/lb of grain (3.0-3.5 gallons) of strike water to 159 Degrees F. *Adjust for your brew system's temperature loss*
Mash @ 150 degrees for 60 minutes.
Fly sparge with 170 degree water to collect 7 gallons of wort. The 60 minute hop addition should be placed in a mesh hop bag in the kettle when sparging starts.

Boil:
90 minute boil
Add in sugar as water comes up to temp after sparging is complete.
***Add hops according to the hop schedule listed above.***
Add 1 tsp Irish moss at 15 minutes (optional not included in kit).

Ferment:
Chill to 80 degrees and pitch yeast. Ferment warm (anywhere from 70 degrees and up is good, but even up to 90 degrees is good, helps create more esters and dry out the beer even more).
Allow 2 weeks for fermentation and then keg or bottle (using carbonation drops worked great for the few bottles I did)

PACKAGING OPTIONS

Priming for Bottling:
Transfer to a sanitized bottling bucket and stir in 5 oz. priming sugar. Mix until
evenly distributed and
bottle your beer.
Once bottled, allow 2 weeks for carbonation in a cool, dark room. Enjoy!
 
Kegging:
Transfer the beer into a sanitized keg.
Seal and purge oxygen by burping the keg with CO₂.
Set the CO₂ regulator to 12 PSI and store at 38°F for 2-3 weeks.
