Instructions

Mash grains at 148F (64C). For hop additions during the boil: add 21g Warrior, 28g Cascade, and 7g Chinook LupoMax for a 60-minute addition. For a 5-minute addition, add 14g Centennial, 14g Citra, and 14g Simcoe. For the dry hop process post-fermentation: space the dry-hop charges 2 days apart. For the first addition, add 28g each of Cascade LupoMax, Citra LupoMax, and Simcoe LupoMax. After the first addition, wait 2 days, then drop the hops from the tank or transfer to a second fermenter. Add in the second charge of 28g each of Cascade LupoMax, Citra LupoMax, and Simcoe LupoMax and wait another 2 days. Do a diacetyl rest for about 2-3 days at room temperature before crashing. It's best practice to limit oxygen exposure when hopping by keeping positive CO2 pressure on the tank while the lid is open.
