Directions:
Mash in 4 steps: (1) protein rest at 128°F (53°C) for 10 min; (2) beta-amylase rest at 147°F (64°C) for 60 min; (3) dextrin rest at 157°F (69°C) for 15 min; and (4) mash out at 168°F (76°C) for 10 min. Ferment according to the “Modified Narziss” regimen popularized by Tasty McDole (R.I.P.): pitch at 45°F (7°C), raising 1°F (0.6°C) every 12 hours until reaching 50°F (10°C); hold at 50°F until 50% of expected attenuation is realized, then raise temperature to 55°F (13°C), and raise again to 60°F (16°C) when 75% of expected attenuation is realized. Cold crash when fermentation finishes, then fine and carbonate, and serve fresh!
