Alpha acid percentages provided to help make adjustments based on hop availability and utilization.

Mashing

I recommend a medium to full body mash regimen. Single infusion should be fine with a middle to higher temperature in the mash, for 60 minutes.

Fermentation

• 3 pkgs White Labs London Ale Yeast
• Optionally rack to secondary. This is a paler beer so may benefit in clarity from racking but should be strong enough in flavor that any possible off flavors from a primary only won't be a problem.
• Target FG 1.024
• Estimated ABV 6.6
