Specifications:
Yield: 5 US gal. (19 L)
Original Gravity: 1.080 (19°P)
ABV: 6.4–7.2%
IBU: 24
SRM: Deep amber
Boil Time: 90 minutes
Directions:
A standard infusion mash at 148°F (64°C) will work, but a traditional sahti stepped-mash infusion procedure is also a good option: 15-minute rests at 104°F (40°C), 130°F (54°C), 148°F (64°C), 172°F (78°C), and mash out at 190°F (88°C). The mash is generally raised from one temperature to the next by adding a small amount of boiling water, resulting in a very thin mash at the end. Allow beer to mature for 4 to 6 months before enjoying.
