WATER
Use 60% RO with 40% tap water (5G:3G)
Volume: Mash 6G, Sparge 2G - 1G loss to grain absorption - 1.25G loss to boiling/cooling - 0.25G loss to trub = 5G in fermenter
MASH
Volume: 6G
Strike 154; Mash 147 (60-90min)
Add 2g NaCl to mash to balance SO4:Cl ratio
Add 0.8g MgCl to mash
Add 5ml lactic acid to mash to target mash pH of 5.4
SPARGE
Dunk sparge 2G @170 (or room temp if not convenient)
Add 1.3ml/2G lactic acid to sparge
MASH #2
Consider second mash of grains in 3G of water
POST BOIL
Split 5G into 2 fermenters
#1 2G in 3G carboy (est OG 1.056 without sugar)
#2 3G in Fermonster and dilute with 2.5G Boiled and cooled water (est OG 1.031 without sugar)
?#3? Consider splitting off 2.5/3G of #2 into secondary if desired
FERMENTATION
Make a starter and split between both batches. Goal ~230Bil (#1 ~78 Bil #2 ~155Bil)
Add corn sugar after peak krausen dissolved in boiled water. Can adjust amount of sugar and water to meet gravity needs (approx 8 oz in #1, 12 oz in #2)
Dry hop #1 with 0.5 oz Mandarina 0.25 oz Azacca
Dry hop #2 with 1 oz Mandarina 0.5 oz Azacca
Consider adding 0.5oz orange zest and 0.25tsp chinese white pepper (or tincture of it) to #1
Consider adding 1 lb/G Mango puree/chunks (Preservative free) to #2
FG for #1 should fall around 1.009
FG for #2 should fall around 1.005
