Procedure:

In a 5 gallon cooler, add 3.5 gallons of 176 degree water. Dough in grains when temp is 168 to achieve 153 mash temp. Hold for one hour. I do batch sparging, so I verlauf until clear, then drain off the first running ( usually about 1.75 gal). Then add 2 gallons of 192 degree water, should hit 168 with no problem. Give mash a good stir then a brief rest before draining second running. Repeat batch sparging until you get 6.25 gallons of pre boil. Note: I have increased the efficiency dramatically by giving a 10 minute rest on each batch sparge, but would recommend just rinsing the grain without any rest. The end result of the higher efficiency is a bit heavy to drink, but if you're on a mission to get drunk, maybe you'd like it.

60 minute boil with the hop additions, rapidly chill to 76. Pitch yeast and aerate wort. 5 days primary, 5-7 days secondary. Keg or bottle and enjoy!

This was my first beer I tried to make. Since the first batch it has been my staple beer. I have tweeked the sparge just a bit and some of the hops. Everyone that has tried it Loves it. Great beer and thanks for the share.

Just what I am looking for as an every day beer I like that my non-craft brew friends also like. An IPA is a favorite but not for everyday. light hops flavor and aroma clean finish light and still full of flavor.
