Fresh from the brewdio, Jonny has managed to get one hell of an exclusive and has arranged a colab with no other than Vinnie Cilurzo, owner and brewer at the world renowned Russian River Brewing in Santa Rosa.

NOTE: This is a 30L batch, please ensure your equipment can handle this volume. This will lead to roughly 24L in the FV. The hops have also been adjusted to account for using T90 in place of Cryo which are not available.

The second episode includes the final recipe and information about water profile used for brewing this awesome beer.

 

We have left the yeast optional on this kit, as it would be recommended that you use 3 packets of White Labs WLP001 based on batch size and gravity, or add one pack and build the correct size starter at home.
