Notes

Mash Schedule:
Dough in to start the mash at 52°C
Leave for 10 minutes
Remove 30% of the mash and put in a large saucepan
Add hops
Heat to 60°C and hold for 5 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 62°C (approx)
Leave for 45 minutes
Sparge with near boiling water (95°C)
Adjust wort pH in the boiler using 80% Lactic Acid, before heating, to a pH of 4.2
Heat until bubbles appear
Chill to 20°C
Pitch yeast and house cultures + L Brevis starter

This time I am going to change things a little:

When adding wort to FV run down the side, reduce oxygen to promote lactic growth
1lt of House Culture + Lacto Brevis/1lt of apple juice used to scale up all going into the FV once wort chilled
200g of boiled and chilled Maltodextrin to be added with cultures
The next morning I shall check the pH, if suitably sour/low pH then I shall add US05
*Cross fingers and hope for the best!
