Notes

Recirculation HERMS mash stepping up the temperature.

Add half of mineral salts to mash and half after sparging.

3oz cascade hops at 5 minutes are used in the hop back not the kettle.

Recirculate work and cooling through immersion chiller until pitching temp of 65

22 gallons total needed (All starting with RO/DI) and building up minerals for style.

Strike with 9 gallons at 160. Should be around 147. Verify Mash PH is 5.2. Adjust if necessary with lactic acid. Raise mash with Herms after 40 minutes to 155. Sparge with 11 gallons at 165-170

Ferment and pitch at 65. Add 1 l for 2min of pure 02 prior to pitching. Add a second dose of oxygen to help yeast 24 hr into ferment. Raise to 70 to clear out precursors/diacytle after a few days in primary.

Add gelatin and crash cool (5 degrees every few hours) after ferment and keg after letting chill for a few days.
