Notes
  1. Start this step 5 days prior. The starter must involve several supernatant discarding steps. 200g of DME, 100g of Sugar, 1g of Go-Ferm, 1g of Yeast nutrient, 0.5g of DAP, and 700mL of water. Boil for 15 minutes and cool until 30 degrees Celsius. Add two sachets of US-05 yeast to the reagent bottle and seal with a spunding valve. Allow the yeast to ferment until gravity is minimal. Pour off any clear liquid and top up with fresh wort, allowing the yeast to continue fermenting. Shake bottle regularly to oxygenate. Ferment for 5 days.

  2. 52L of water must be added to the fermenter and treated with 1.5 Campden tablets. This water is allowed to react for 24 hours, degassing. The water salts are added to the fermenter and homogenised. pH is tested at this point to ensure the reading is around 5.0-5.2. Then, to a stainless steel mash pot, add 26L of water. The remaining water should be transferred to a separate container and chilled in the fridge to assist later on in cooling the wort.

  3. Bring water to 55 degrees Celsius. Three grain bags are placed into the mash pot. The recirculating pump is set up and bazooka shield is placed underneath the grain bags. Once water is at the correct temperature, add all grain equally to all three grain bags. Begin mashing the grain and recirculating water on top of the grain bed to release starches. The mashing schedule is followed.

  4. After mashout, the grain bags are removed and drained in a separate pot. These bags are sparged with a total of 8L of water at 78 degrees Celsius. All the sparged water is added to the mash tun.

  5. The water is brought to a boil and a 60 minute timer and hop schedule are started. At 15 minutes, all adjuncts and sugars are added. The immersion chiller coil is also added and heat sterilized at this stage.

  6. At flameout, the chiller is started and temperature is brought down as close as possible to 20 degrees Celsius. When this wort is added to the fermenter, ensure it froths and oxygenates as it enters via pump. The extra water is added and topped off to 45L after losses. Oxygenate this water as much as possible before adding. This can be added by the same water pump as the wort. The yeast starter's supernatant is poured off and the yeast cake is then added and the fermenter is sealed.

  7. Ferment at 15psi for 14 days. At 2 days, using the collection container, dry hop (according to the hop schedule) anaerobically with multiple CO2 flushes at High Krausen. Further dry hop with Simcoe at 10 days via the same method. Use both of these attempts to remove 2L of solid trub after every container is opened to the fermenter and settled over the course of a few days.

  8. The final amount of trub is removed from the fermenter via the collection container including 300g of table sugar for secondary fermentation. The clean fermenter is now allowed to condition and clarify for 4 weeks. At this stage, several glass sample bottles (6-8) can be prepared with the counterpressure bottle filler.

  9. Keg and condition for 5 days at 6 degrees Celsius and 5psi before serving.

Attempt 1: 16/05/21
Use more water than 48L as there are losses. 48 provided 38L. Remember to read the recipe and add 1kg of sugar. Add more water to the mash pot to cover all the grain. pH adjust the entire fermenter water supply. Use the siphon instead of the pump to take out the water from the fermenter. Consider a large plastic tub to collect the malt runoff without squeezing as much.
Consider making standard solutions of citric acid, bicarbonate soda. Tube clamp inlet tube to the barbed fitting properly.
During the mash, the temperature spiked to 72 and this had to slowly reduce to 67 over the course of 5 minutes.
Don't pump the beer into the fermenter. Just use a siphon.
Perhaps use 3 grain bags instead of 2 for an easier sparge.
Don't forget to add yeast nutrient and co. at 15 minutes.
Do the starter properly and ferment it for 4 days straight. Use two sachets.
