Mash Schedule:
Infusion mash at 152 for 60 minutes. I add 1 tsp gypsum to mash water. Lake Erie water is kinda soft, so I could add more.
Brewers Notes:
Perle seems to work good for bittering. But use whatever you want for bittering. Dry hop with 1oz. Cascade flowers per 5 Gallons, or Williamette, or whatever you want. But dry hop it for sure. The IBU`s on this recipe are on the lower side, so kick it up a notch if you want. Some biscuit malt or other flavor malt would add something. I`ve brew this more than anything else, and it always turns out good.
