Prior to brew day, roast the hemp seeds at 325 °F (163 °C) for about 25 minutes to bring out the nuttiness and flavor of the seed. On brew day, mash the grains and hemp seeds at 152 °F (67 °C) with 6 gallons (23 L) and hold at this temperature for 60 minutes. Sparge with 168 °F (76 °C) water and collect a boil volume of 8.3 gallons (31.4 L). Boil for 60 minutes, adding the hops as indicated in the ingredient list. After the boil, shut off the burner and add whirlpool hops for 30 minutes before cooling. Top your fermenter up to 6 gallons (23 L), pitch yeast and ferment at 67 °F (19 °C). Add the dry hops in secondary and let them sit for 5-7 days. Rack off then bottle or keg, allowing the beer to age 30 days total and enjoy your Burnt clone.
