| About one gallon of evaporation during a thurough boil, topping off now and then with the remaining runnings from the mash. | ||||||||
| Hops: | .5 oz. Chinook (12.5% AA, 60 min.) | |||||||
| Yeast: | 10g of Nottingham -- I love it and use for everything. Hydrate then pitch directly at about 70°. | |||||||
| Log: | 68° for three days then disturb the trub without aerating the beer and wait four days. Rack to secondary and wait five days. One packet of gelatin and wait another two days. Bottle. |
|||||||

| If more than 4.5 gallons servives add 1.5-1.75g corn sugar per additional bottle. May help to add three little bits of yeast to each bottle since much is cleared by the gelatin. Allow two weeks to carbonate and mature. | ||||||||
| Tasting: | Carbonates within a week, better after four. | |||||||
