Notes

Use softened water as base water.

From https://learn.kegerator.com/wee-heavy/

A single infusion mash will work just fine here. Look for a mash temperature at the upper range of the brewer’s window (154°F to 158°F). This will produce more non-fermentable sugars and create the beer’s rich, sweet profile.

A pitching temperature just below 55°F is common. Work hard at keeping your fermentation temperature below 62°F.This will create a clean, very low-ester profile, richly malt-forward beer, and keep fusel alcohols down.

Remember, yeast has to work harder in high gravity beers, so be sure to aerate/oxygenate the cooled wort well. Also, be sure to pitch enough healthy yeast by either making a starter (liquid yeast) or cast more than one packet of yeast (liquid/dry yeast).
