Notes

3 barrel HERMS equipment

Efficiency is kettle efficiency not brew house

pitch yeast at 10-12C. I used a 2L starter to avoid under pitching.

Ferment at 9°C until 75% attenuated then raise to 15°C until final gravity is reached

Tip. Remove a small sample to fast ferment at 17-25C to establish FG before the main batch is completed.

Reduce to 10°C add gelatine finings and cold crash for 2 weeks at -1°C
