Extract 1.0 gallon of wort at the beginning of clear runoff into a 3-5 gallon pot. 2. Boil the wort down until it becomes a dark mahogany brown and is bubbling with large bubbles. 3. Be careful NOT to burn the maltose syrup. 4. The result will be approximately 24-26 ounces of syrup. 5. Re-crash the syrup by adding wort from the ongoing main boil. 6. Pour the dissolved liquid back in to the main boil. Fermentation Pitch Notes: --------------------- Chill wort to 63-64F Oxygenate chilled wort to 8-10PPM by diffusing pure O2 via .05 micron diffuser for 90-120 seconds. Pitch decanted yeast starter, adding chilled wort to the yeast flask to clear remaining yeast as necessary. Ramp fermentation temp (evenly over time) from 63 - 80F over 7 days.
