Notes
Base on Brulosopher's Best Blonde Ale recipe with ingredient substitutions and adjustments for equipment.
Process per Brulosopher's website http://brulosophy.com/recipes/brulosophers-blonde-ale/
Mash at 150°F for 60 minutes (3.75 gallons) The Brewers Edge website says use .37 gallons/lb grain - or 4.5 gallons minium.
– Sparge with 170°F water (5 gallons)
– Chill to 56°F prior to pitching yeast starter
– Ferment at 58°F for 4-5 days then ramp up to 65° over the next few days
– Cold crash for 48+ hours after FG is stable (10-14 days)
– Package, carbonate, enjoy!
Some have tried and suggest lagering the finished beer to allow it to condition.This Recipe Has Not Been Rated
