Notes

Grain Bill oats- just use old fashioned Quaker oats

Mash Temp- Its better to mash on the higher side and try to get a "sweeter" or less ferment-able beer usually 154-158.
Mash pH of 5.0-5.4. Correct acidity with lactic acid 88%. Measure after mash in.

Water profile- Maintain a 1:1 chloride to sulfate ratio at a level of 150 ppm. These are the only two water variables that should be monitored.

Conical Fermentation, conditioning and packaging process

  1. Ferment for 5-10 days before adding any dry hop. The first 24 hours of active fermentation are the most critical in terms of proper temperature control (66-68°F). Once fermentation starts to slow, let the fermenters free-rise to 70-72°F. This ensures fermentation fully completes and scrubs out any unwanted off-flavors.

  2. At day 7-8 after yeast pitch, Soft crash fermenter down to 55-60°F to allow the yeast to settle into the cone of the conical. Using dump valve, slowly remove yeast over 2 day period.

  3. Cap/seal fermenter at soft crash temp, add dry hop. Purge and pressurize to 7-10 PSI and let sit for 2-3 days.

  4. Cold crash to 35°F, under pressure for 2 days. Remove dry hop from dump valve over 2 day period.

  5. Packaging- Do not let beer interact with oxygen. This will result in oxidation and a ruined product. Perform a closed transfer to a keg that is scrubbed of oxygen/air. You can do this by filling a keg with starsan and push it out with CO2. This will leave you with a keg full of CO2.
