Notes

*** Planning for 6 gallons post boil (1/2 gallon loss to Trub), then post fermentation I'm planning on splitting the 6 gallons ( 3 gallons each) into two different secondary's, one will have the secondary additions, (those numbers are listed above for 3 gallon addition)...the other will have concentrated flavorings from a flavoring company.

  1. Sour wort with Lacto Brevis for 3-5 days to get PH below 3.4, I think anything between 3.2 - 3.4 has soured well for me with this lacto. Sometimes it takes a little while to get going.

  2. Once fermentation is complete, rack beer off the dead yeast & into secondary on top of adjuncts for 3 - 6 days. Taste each day & add more adjuncts as needed.
