To adjust my very soft water, I added 1 tsp. of gypsum and 0.5 tsp. of calcium chloride to the mash. Adjust the minerals as needed for your water profile. Mash at 153°F (67°C) for 60 minutes. Sparge to collect 5.75 gal. (21.8 L) and boil for 60 minutes, adding hops as directed. Chill and ferment at 68°F (20°C) to completion. Cold crash to 38°F (3°C) and keg or bottle. Carbonate at 2.3 vol. (4.6 g/L) CO2.
Steep specialty malts at 155°F (68°C) in 5.75 gal. (21.8 L) of water for 20 minutes. Add 6 lb. (2.7 kg) light dried malt extract, and follow all-grain directions from boil. Top off volume if necessary.
