Yeast

Liquid | Bluestone Yeast

• BSY-A011 New England Bluestone Yeast x 1 Liquid pitch

Dry | Lallemand Brewing

• Lallemand Brewing New England American East Coast Ale Yeast (Dry) 2 x 11 g Sachets

Method:

1. Mill the grains and dough-in targeting a mash of around 3 Litres of water to 1 Kg of grain (a liquor-to-grist ratio of about 3:1 by weight) and a temperature of 67 °C (152 °F).
2. Hold the mash at 67 °C ( 152 °F ) until enzymatic conversion is complete.
3. Add first wort hop addition.
4. Infuse the mash with near boiling water while stirring or with a recirculating mash system raise the temperature to mash out at 76 °C (168 °F). Mash out for 10 minutes.
5. Fly sparge slowly with 12 Litres of 77 °C (170 °F ) water, collecting wort until the pre-boil kettle volume is around 28.5 L (6.5 gallons).
6. The total boil time will be 60-90 minutes. Do not add Deltafloc or Irish Moss.
7. At flameout, wait until wort cools to 82°C (180 °F ) to avoid volatizing hop oils. Set time for 40 mins and add first hop stand addition (10g each hop).
8. After 20 mins add the second hop stand additions (20g each hop).
9. After the total hop stand of 40 minutes, chill wort to 19°C (67 °F ), decant starter or open Liquid Pitch and pitch Yeast and aerate.
10. Over the course of the two-week fermentation, ramp the temperature up to 23°C (73 °F ) to ensure full attenuation.
11. On approximately Day 5 of fermentation when attenuation has reached about 80 percent, add the first dry hop addition.
12. Wait 5 days, then remove the first dry hop addition and add the second addition of dry hops and dry hop for another 5 days.
13. When finished, carbonate the beer to approximately 2.5 volumes (5 g/L) of CO2 (or add 125g of table sugar or 180g of Light Dried Malt Extract if bottling) and drink fresh. Prost!
