Notes
The water was R/O to which was added gypsum, epsom salt, and table salt to bring it to Ca-110ppm, Mg-118ppm, Na-17ppm, SO4-350ppm, Cl-50ppm.

Mashed at 154F. This grain bill tends to want to attenuate below 1.010. Higher diastatic power of Pilsner malt may be the reason.

The beer will seem hoppier than 37 IBU. Probably a better APA at 30 IBU.

The 0 minute hop (cascade) was a hopback. A hop addition of half as much at flameout could be substituted.

Pitched 2000ml starter.

Fermentation temperature was 68F.

A 7 micron filter was used prior to carbonating to 2.5 volumes.
