East Coast Hoppers Kits include Instructions and BeerSmith files to help determine strike and sparge volumes and temperatures. Other kits may require brewing software or a knowlege of brewing calculations to determine water volumes and temperatures.

When cold, or after a period of lagering in the primary vessel, transfer to another vessel and lager in a barrel, on oak chips, or oak spirals. When finished lagering, carbonate to 2.75 v/v and enjoy. Note: Duration in barrel or on wood chips/spirals depends on the strength of the wood, since you just want subtle wood character, not a full on barrel-aged beer. Taste regularly.
