Step by Step:
Mash this beer at 150° for 45-60 minutes. Raise temperature of mash to 165°, (called mash-out temperature) then run 6.5 gallons of wort to begin your 60 minute boil. When wort comes to a boil add 1.0 oz. Warrior hops and boil for 60 minutes. With 15 minutes remaining add 1 Carrageenan Tablet. With 5 minutes remaining add 0.50 Cascade hops. With 1 minute remaining add 1.0 oz. Amarillo hops. Cool your wort, transfer to your fermenter, and pitch your yeast when the temperature of the wort is between 75° and 80°.
Around the 5 day mark or when fermentation slows add 1.5 oz. Cascade and 1.0 oz. Amarillo directly to the fermenter. Wait an additional 3-5 days, then check the specific gravity of your beer. When finaly gravity is reached, bottle or keg as desired.
