Notes

Target pH = 5.4
0.1 reduction = 1.8ml lactic acid
0.1 increase = 1.2g slaked lime


covered low-boil for first 30 minutes, followed by 30 minutes uncovered low-boil

batch sparge

Yeast Hydration Instructions:
Sprinkle the yeast in a minimum of 10 times its weight of sterile water or wort (8 oz for two packs) at 77°F to 84°F (25 to 29 °C). Do not stir. Leave to rest 15 to 30 minutes. Then, gently stir for 30 minutes, and pitch the resultant cream into the fermentation vessel.

Do a forced ferment test

open fermentation (no airlock, just loosely cover with sanitized tinfoil)

Diacetyl rest: Increase temp to 72 degrees when fermentation is nearly complete (based on forced ferment test)

Dry Hop addition is really a keg hop. Place hops in sanitized nylon bag, then into keg purged of CO2. Wait 20 minutes, then open the pressure release valve to vent O2 that rose to the top of the keg. Rack the beer into the purged keg.
