Brewing Instructions
1. Prepare the Mash
In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to approximately 160°F (71°C). Add the malted barley and hold the temperature for about 60 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Boil the Wort
After the mash, strain the liquid (wort) into a clean pot. Add 10 cups of water and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add the 2 cups of whole leaf hops for bitterness and boil for 60 minutes.
3. Add Flavorings
In the last 15 minutes of the boil, add grapefruit zest, pine needles, and tropical fruit puree.
4. Cool and Ferment
After the boil, cool the wort rapidly using a wort chiller or ice bath. Once cooled to about 70°F (21°C), transfer to a fermentation vessel and pitch in the yeast. Seal and let ferment for 1 to 2 weeks.
5. Bottle the Beer
After fermentation, add priming sugar to the beer (dissolved in a small amount of water) to carbonate, and then transfer to clean bottles. Seal and let sit for another 1-2 weeks to carbonate.
