11lbs -    Pilsner Malt
1.75lbs - CaraMunich Malt
1.75lbs - Munich Malt

.25lb -   Carafa II Malt

Mash Schedule
40min @ 145F
20min @ 158F

1.5oz Cascade 7.5% (60 min) 44 IBU
1oz Cascade 7.5% (0min) 0 IBU

The grain bill and hops were based on malt percentages and IBUs off the production recipe......but the commercial version turns out to be 1.062-65. I think this recipe might be a touch stronger than that.; ▶ Reply to This
