Notes

Target a mash pH of 5.43. Use a step mash with two decoctions, resting at 113°F (45°C) for 30 minutes, 125°F (52°C) for 20 minutes, 148°F (64°C) for 20 minutes, and a mash out at 170°F (77°C). OG Should be 1.032

Boil 90 minutes. Chill to 90°F (32°C). Pitch Goodbelly mango probiotic drink at 90°F (32°C) in boil kettle. Top headspace with CO2 and cover tightly.

Monitor pH every few hours, targeting a pH of 4.5 (after 48 hours, pH was 4.3).

Ramp temperature up to 190°F (88°C) and hold for 10 minutes to kill lactic acid bacteria.

Chill to 65°F (18°C). Pitch a very large starter of Wyeast 3711 French Saison yeast (diastaticus). Let rise to an ambient temp of 72°F (22°C).

Check gravity after 9 days: it should be at 1.012 with lots of acetaldehyde, which is typical of 3711 French Saison yeast. Pitch starter of Voss Kveik plus House bugs including Pediococcus, Lactobacillus, and Brettanomyces.

After 2 months aging in a stainless 5 gal. (18.9 L) keg, final pH should be 3.67, and final gravity 1.006.

Based off of "Trail Dog Berliner Bites" from the American Homebrewer's Association.
