Comments:

Single infusion mash. Mash at 155 degrees for 60 minutes. Batch sparge until clear. Sparge with 170 degree water until you collect 6.5-7 gallons (adjust to your 1 hour boil off volume).

Complete the hop schedule, adding the last addition of Kent Goldings and Fuggles for 1 minute. Cover and use wort chiller until temperature drops to 70 degrees. Filter and pitch on Wyeast 1318 London III.

Ferment until bubbling slows (2-3 days with the aggressive 1318 yeast) and reack to carboy. Keg/bottle when fermentation is complete and enjoy!
