Grains treated with 2% by weight water with 25 ppm Sodium Meta Bisulfite, just before grinding.

Mash water boiled before use to reduce oxygen level. Sodium Meta Bisulfite (Campden tabs) added as powder @ 50 ppm to prevent Hot Side Oxidation (will add 11.6 ppm Na+ and 40.5 ppm SO3- aq to water profile)

Add 5 drops Fermcap S prior to boil. Invert sugar using

Make 2L starter

Cool wort to 19 C (66F) before pitching yeast and let rise to 21 C (70 F) maximum during fermentation
