INSTRUCTIONS

Mash 19 l 0' @ 67° 30'@ 62° 60' @ 68° 10' @ 78° Sparge to 27 l Boil 60' first HOP 30' orange peels 30' licorige 30' kandij 15' second Hop 10' clearafine + Yeast Nutrition Rest 15' Add ice and water to reach 25 l and < 25° Fermentation Pitch @ 22° 1 days @ 23° 6 days @ 25° Fermentation leveled of at 1014 after 7 days. Bottle with no additional sugar (by accident) turned out to be great and also with reasonable co2 after 8 weeks. Bottle with priming of 7 gr/liter was high on co2 (1 exploding bottle) but still to sweet. Next time prime with only 3 gr/liter and leave alone for a while or do a secondary to give yeast some more time.
