Notes

Since Voss Kveik yeast is a hungry hungry hippo, no yeast started should be necessary even though OG is very high.

Mash 1/2 of grain bill at 156 F for 70 mins. Measure pH 10 mins into first mash to ensure on-target pH of 5.3. Pull grains out and let drain for 10 mins. Mash 2nd half of grain bill at 156 F for 70 mins. Mash out and sparge out.

Pre-Boil Target:
pH - 5.3
Gravity - 1.078

Post-Boil Target:
pH 5.3
Gravity - 1.100

Cool to 90 F and pitch yeast and yeast nutrient.
Ferment at 68 F for first week
Ferment at 71 F for second week
Ferment at 75 F for 3rd week

Rack to secondary keg and age for at least 1 month (up to 6 mo) at 68 F.
For last 7 days of aging, drop oak chips bag into beer and let infuse.

Cold crash overnight.

Rack beer into serving keg, force carbonate at 30 psi and shake for 2 mins.

Serve the next day.
