BREWER COMMENTS:
Use a decoction step mash schedule with 30 minute rests at 126 F (52 C), 139 F (59 C), and 156 F (69 C). Mash out at 175 F (79 C) for 5 minutes. JUDGES COMMENTS: Crisp, clean and refreshing are the watchwords of the style, and youve achieved them well. The malt is apparent and low, allowing the hops to balance while creating the sensation of bitterness. Well done! Dead on style, very pleasant. Except for DMS in aroma, FAULTLESS. Very good recipe/brewing. Has fared well in aging and shipping.
