Preparation Directions:
You may treat your water with 2 grams of KCl, CaSO4, MgSO4, and CaCO3. Next mash your grains in a sterile stainless steel pot with 3 gallons of water brought to 135 degrees Fahrenheit. Hold a boil of 123 degrees Fahrenheit for a full 57 minutes, then raise your heating temperature to 160 degrees Fahrenheit and boil for another 55 minutes. From there, again raise the boiling temperature this time to 170 degrees Fahrenheit, and boil it there for 15 minutes. For the next step, sparge with 5.75 gallons of water, then boil it for another 20 minutes. You will then need to add in your bittering hops, and boil for another 55 minutes. Now add in the finishing hops, and boil for a short 5 additional minutes. Chill the brew and pitch it with Wyeast Northern Whiteshield and Sierra Nevada yeast. You can ferment the brew, then bottle it up in sterile clean bottles, or in a fresh keg. Fermentation time takes about 2 months. The finished product is sweet, smooth, and extremely rich in flavor. The chocolate flavor brings up the rear of the flavor, with a heavy forefront emphasis on the malt.
