Notes

3.5 gallon recipe scaled from a 5 gallon recipe.

Mash pH calculated to be 5.40 without sparge water.

Sparge water acidified to pH 5.4

Target final wort volume is 3.5 gallons in 5 a gallon carboy primary fermentor. Measure wort gravity in Gigawort after boiling and cooling (68F). Transfer wort to primary fermentor. The volume will be less than the 3.5 gallon target. Using the Dilution and Boil Off calculator determine the amount of source water needed to dilute to target gravity. Regardless, the wort volume should end up between 3.25 and 3.5 gallons.

At 10-days to 2 weeks transfer 3 gallons off of trub to a 3 gallon carboy. Let it condition for 2 weeks before bottling.

32 x 12 oz. bottle yield from 3 gallons of beer.
