Notes: poor results likely due to a poor crush and a very bad boil. The heat source couldn't maintain a good open top boil... sustained high temp of 210 F with lid cracked open.
Need to run a 1 gallon scaled batch to try again. |

Notes: Mash: During the rest of 63°C, add lactic acid as necessary to get a pH of 5.5–5.6.
For the Decoction: Remove 20% of the mash to a separate burner and boil for 10 minutes. Reunite the mash to achieve the target temp of 77°C.
Boil: Lactic acid at 15 minutes to adjust a pH to 5.0–5.1
Under-pitch the yeast and under-aerate the wort, to make that yeast work and express itself.
Start fermentation at 18°C and leave free rise up to 24°C.
After fermentation is complete - crash to 0°C for 7 days.
