Yeast:

Method:

  1. Mash – the brewer should do normal mash regime, mashing at 67 C for at least 65 mins with a water to grist ratio of 3:1 (3 parts water to every 1 Kg of Grain) approx. 10 L of water to 3.3Kg Grist.
  2. Sparge – once again the brewer should do normal regime at around 76C with approx 20L of water to bring the pre-boil volume to around 25L assuming a 2L/hour boil off.
  3. Boil – vigorous boil for 60 mins. You may want to boil for 90 mins if time permits with first bittering hop addition at 60 mins.
  4. Hops: Add 20g of Centennial @60 mins, 15g of Centennial and 20g of Lemondrop @15 mins from end of boil, then a further 15g of Centennial and 30g of Lemondrop @5 mins from end of boil.
  5. Pitch Yeast & Fermentation – Aerate well and ferment at 18-22 C until FG is reached or terminal gravity is table for two days.
  6. Yeast off and start the first of two double dry hops after primary for 72 hours with 25g each of Centennial and Lemondrop.  Add another 2nd (DDH) double dry hop of 25g each of Centennial and Lemondrop for a further 3 days. (NB: If your in a hurry you can avoid the DDH and do a single dry hop for 3 days of 50g of each hop)
  7. Crash chill and bottle or keg as normal.
  8. Mature for 10 days before carbonating.
