Welcome to the brew day for Shiner Bock Clone.

Discuss the inspiration for the recipe and the beer's background.

State the expected original and final gravity of the beer.

List the grains to be used: 36% two row, 30% Vienna, 26% corn grits, 6.4% Great Western Crystal 60, 1.8% roasted barley, and 5% oats for head retention.

Mill the grains once, noting that some suggest milling twice for finer grain.

Heat water to 147°F for mashing.

Mash in the grains and let sit overnight at 147°F.

The next morning, drain the grains and heat the water to a boil.

Add 0.4 oz of hops for the bittering addition, noting that the hops are more bitter than desired.

Complete the boil and cover the pot with a lid and Saran Wrap to let it sit overnight for no-chill cooling.

The next morning, transfer the wort to the fermentation vessel using a pump.

Aerate the wort using a stainless steel drill paddle before sealing the fermentation vessel.
