Notes

STARTER:

  • Shaken Not Stirred Starter (100g in 1qt liquid in 1 gallon jar) prepared the night before brewing, slowly aerate with pure oxygen, then add yeast and shake a little more.

    BOIL:
  • Add sugar at 15 minutes left in boil
  • nE=4, T1=90, T2=60, T3=30, T4=10


    FERENTATION:
  • Open ferment (cover loosely with sanitized foil) initially, add airlock just after high Kreusen
  • Ferment at 68 for two days, unplug freezer, ramp to 72 over four days, hold at 72 for 24 days (30 days total fermentation)
    SP0=68, dh0=48
    SP1=68, dh1=96
    SP2=72, dh2=0

    PACKAGING:
  • Target 2.6 volumes of CO2 (ensure fermentation is complete to reduce risk of bottle bombs)
  • Bottle condition (with an addition of REHYDRATED SafAle F-2 yeast?)
