Notes: try stirrer much less, turn on a few times during mash. if stirring then call. is -4 in mash. if 151.
fermentation - start 68. raise ferment temp to 71 on day 4-12. reduce to 60 to day 12, crash to 40. farm yeast.
Here is the updated, complete summary including the specific gram additions for your salts.
### 1. Water Chemistry Plan (Victoria Water Profile)
**Target:** Balanced Profile (~75ppm Ca, ~75ppm Cl, ~75ppm SO4).
* **Base Water:** Pure Victoria tap water. (No Baking Soda, No Chalk).
**The Salt Additions:**
* **Mash Tun (12 Gallons):**
* **Calcium Chloride:** **8 grams**
* **Gypsum:** **6 grams**
* **Sparge / HLT (9.5 Gallons):**
* **Calcium Chloride:** **6 grams**
* **Gypsum:** **5 grams**
*(Note: This provides the perfect level of Calcium (~75ppm) for yeast health without creating "mineral" off-flavors.)*
### 2. The Mash (Step Mash Process)
* **Step 1: Dough-In at 122°F (Protein Rest)**
* Dissolve the **Mash Salts** (8g CaCl + 6g Gypsum) in water.
* Mix in grains.
* Wait 10 minutes.
* **Measure pH:** Pull a sample, **COOL it to ~68°F**, then measure.
* **Adjust pH:** Target **5.2 – 5.4**.
* *Action:* Start with **3 ml** of Lactic Acid. Re-test. You will likely need **4–6 ml total**.
* **Step 2:** Raise temp to **151°F** for 60 mins.
* **Step 3:** Mash Out / Sparge at **170°F**.
### 3. The Sparge Water Prep
* **Volume:** 9.5 Gallons in HLT.
* **Additions:** Add the **Sparge Salts** (6g CaCl + 5g Gypsum).
* **Acidify:** Add Lactic Acid immediately to the water.
* **Measure pH:** Adjust water until it reads **5.5 – 5.8**.
### 4. The Yeast Strategy (Harvest & Pitch)
* **Harvest (Next Week):** Save **2 cups (500ml)** of thick white slurry from your current batch.
* **Starter (24-48 hrs before brew):**
* **Water:** 3 Liters.
* **DME:** **300g** (Target Gravity 1.037).
* **Pitch:** Add the 2 cups of harvested slurry.
* **Brew Day:** Pitch the entire 3L starter into the 16-gallon batch.
### 5. Current Fermentation Schedule (For Reference)
* **Now:** Hold at **71°F**.
* **Day 10:** Verify gravity (~1.009).
* **Day 11:** Dump trub -> Harvest yeast.
* **Day 12:** Cold Crash to 35°F (under CO2 pressure).
* **Day 14:** Keg. |

| Notes: Coffee is cold brewed. 6 oz coffee in 72 oz (both coffee and water by weight) of water left at room temp for 12 to 24 hours. Stir before straining. Should yield roughly 54 oz by weight of coffee. Coffee is added as wort cools through 180 F for sanitation. |

Judges Notes:
Jet black, tight med tan head settles quicky. Good carbonation level. Choc, low dark roast, dark toast and bisucit malt, low fruity esters, nice nuttiness. Palate is weighty and maybe even a touch more lactose could increase silkiness. It's harder to define specific characters on the palate- there's a lot of flavour though! Low and nicely balanced bitterness, low alcohol heat is quite impressive for the ABV, flavours linger well into the finish.
