1) Mash:
*Target a mash temperature of 152°F (67°C) for 60 minutes with approximately 3 gallons (11 L) of strike water to ensure a good balance of fermentable and unfermentable sugars, contributing to the beer's body and sweetness.
*Mash out at 168°F (76°C) for 10 minutes, then sparge with enough water to collect about 6 gallons (23 L) of pre-boil wort.
2) Boil:
* Bring the wort to a boil.
*Add 1 oz of East Kent Goldings hops for 60 minutes.
*If using the Fuggles for flavor, add at the 15-minute mark.
The total boil time is 60 minutes.
3) Cooling and Fermentation:
*Chill the wort rapidly to approximately 66°F (19°C) and pitch your yeast.
*Ferment at around 66-68°F for one to two weeks, or until final gravity is stable.
*Consider a diacetyl rest by raising the temperature a few degrees toward the end of fermentation.
