Notes

YEAST STARTER

If able, Repitch Yeast!

First Generation yeast: make starter with OG ~0.03 Gravity Points over OG of recipe

MASH

PRE-HEAT MASH - 2 gal of Boiling Water
PRE-HEAT SPARGE - 2 gal of Boiling Water
(conduct Simultaneously)

Water Volume: 3.7 gallons for 1.5lb/qt ratio.

  1. Prior to heating HLT, check pH of tap water + add Salts/LA to achieve Goal water.

    pH: ______

  2. STRIKE WATER: 166F.
  3. Add Grains @ 164F.
  4. Allow Temperature to fall to 154F prior to closing lid.
  5. Total Mash Time: 60 minutes

    FINAL MASH TEMP: ____F
    FINAL MASH pH:     ____

  6. Add 5L of Boiling Water at the end of Mash and stir into solution
  7. Begin Vorlauf!

    SPARGE

  8. Heat 7gal of Water to 175F. Add to Sparge Vessel.
  9. Recirculate 4 times (or until clear running's) prior to collecting wort.
  10. Attempt to Sparge over ~30 minutes, collect 8 gal into boil kettle.

    BOIL

  11. Check Pre-Boil Gravity (goal: 1.037) + pH
    NOTE: Make sure to adjust for TEMPERATURE

    PRE-BOIL GRAVITY: ____ @ ____F

  12. Adjust Gravity to Goal (1.035)

    Adjusted Gravity: ____ (__ @ __ F)

    PRE-BOIL pH:     ____

  13. Adjust Pre-Boil pH to: ~5.4 (+/- 0.1)

    Final pH measurement: ____
    Lactic Acid addition:     ____ mL

  14. Boil for 90 minutes (goal OG: 1.045)
  15. Add Hallertau Hops @ 60 min.
  16. Add 1/2 crushed Whirlfloc tablet @ 5 minutes.
  17. Chill wort rapidly to ~70F after completion of Boil.
  18. Once temperature is ~70F: place lid on kettle, and allow immersion chiller to rest in wort for another 5-10 minutes (to help settle particles in suspension).
  19. Drain wort from Kettle into Mash Cooler with Hop Cylinder + fine mesh bag attached (at the end of auto-siphon)
  20. Gravity feed 5.25gal (5gal mark) of wort from Mash Cooler into Catalyst Fermenter
  21. Allow Ranco/Chest Freezer to adjust wort temperature to goal starting temp (cool to 46F).

    ORIGINAL GRAVITY: ______ (goal: 1.045)

    FERMENTATION

  22. Goal Starting Temp: 46F. Oxygenate for 60s prior to Pitching.
  23. Pitch yeast @ 46F.
  24. Hold temperature @ 46F until signs of Fermentation begin, then increase temp by 1F every 12 hours until 50F

    carbonate to approximately 2-2.5 volumes
