Notes

Mash Schedule:
Dough in to start the mash at 52°C
Leave for 10 minutes
Remove approximately 30% of the mash and put in a large saucepan
Add 30g of Styrian Golding hops
Heat to 60°C and hold for 1-2 minutes
Bring to a boil and leave for 20 minutes
Return the boiled decoction to the main mash and stir
Mash temp should now be 63°C (approx)
Leave for 45 minutes
Sparge with near boiling water (95°C)to collect 27lts in the boiler
Adjust wort pH in the boiler using 80% Lactic Acid, before heating, to a pH of 4.4
Heat until bubbles appear
Chill to 20°C
Pitch yeast and house culture

Extra Cultures Being Added:

Vicaris - Triple/Geuze
Odell - 5 Barrel Pale Ale
Siren Craft Brewery - Gouttière Saison
Wild Beer - Solera Aged Beer

The idea of brewing this again is due to the fact I won second place with the previous incarnation. I now need to see if I can produce the same or a very similar beer.
The house blend has been added to so I am pretty sure that the profile of the final beer will change even though I am doing everything to do with malt, hops and brewing yeast the same as before.

Wish me luck!
