1oz Tettnang Hops 15min
0.5oz Styrian Goldings Hops 10min
WL530 or WY3787 Yeast (Pitch 160 to 170 billion cells)

NARRATIVE: Mash in at 150f for 60 minutes, Mash out at 170f for 20 minutes. 90 minute boil. Chill to 65 F. Oxygenate 60 seconds. Ramping primary slowly to 74 F over 6 days. Rack to to secondary at 60F. Crash at 50F for 5 weeks. Bottle prime with Golden Candi Syrup at 29 g/gallon. Hold bottles at 78F for 2 weeks for initial carbonation.
