Mash Schedule:

Single Infusion Mash (approx 1.25 qt per lb.) @ 154 for 75 min. Batch Sparge collecting 6 gals of wort.

Brewers Notes:

Great session beer. The beer is clean and clear after a week due to WLP002's high flocculation. No need for secondary. The rye gives it a lot of depth. I have considered toasting some of the rye in future batches to see what that adds. Depending on your crush, you might add Rice Hulls to avoid stuck mash from the rye.
