For IBU calculations, first wort hopping is said to be similar to a 20 minute addition. Notes: Add 500mg potassium metabisulphite to 20 gallons water to remove chlorine/chloramine (as required). Water treated with brewing salts to: Ca=110, Mg=18, Na=16, Cl=50, S04=278 (Basically Randy Mosher's ideal Pale Ale numbers with slightly less Sulphate). 1.25 qt/lb mash thickness. Single infusion mash at 150F for 90 mins (or even 120). Mashout to 168F. 60-90 min fly sparge with ~6 pH water. Collect 13.9 gallons in the boil kettle. Boil for 60 minutes. Lid on at flameout, start chilling immediately. Cool wort to 66F and aerate well. Ferment at 66-68F until complete. Add dry hops once fermentation is nearing completion (ie: below 1.015). Dry hop for 7-10 days total. Rack to brite tank (secondary), crash chill to near freezing (if possible), add 1 tsp of unflavoured gelatin dissolved in a cup of hot distilled water per 5 gallons of beer, and let clear for 2-3 days. Package as you would normally. I keg and carbonate on the low side (around 2 to 2.2 volumes of C02) to minimize carbonic bite and let the hop/malt flavour come through. If you prefer to use liquid yeast, either of these is an excellent choice as they are the same clean fermenting Chico strain as US-05: Wyeast 1056 American Ale White Labs WLP-001 California Ale You'll need to use 6 packs/vials or make an appropriate starter.
