*************************
## PRIOR to BREW DAY
- Attach torpedo buoy with filter attachment to *fermentation* keg
- Sanitize *fermentation* keg
- Attach torpedo buoy with filter attachment to *serving* keg
- Fill *serving* keg 99.99% full with Starsan (tip and inject Starsan
until water escapes from gas QD)
- Set spunding valve to 26 psi
- Collect RO water needed for brew day
- Mill grains
##Yeast Starter
- None. Use dry yeast (2 packets)
##MASH
- **Start with *empty* MLT**
- Fill HLT with 6 or more gallons of strike water and heat to strike temp of 140 degrees (F)
- Transfer 4.5 gallons of strike water to MLT, then **CLOSE MASH TUN VALVE** (to ensure no mash water goes back to HLT)
- **Turn off power to HLT** (until sparge water is added)
- Add mash salts/acid, then dough in and stir
- After stirring, add remaining sparge water (*reserving 1 gallon*) to HLT and set temp to 132 degrees (one degree above first step temp).
- Begin recirc when HLT is at temp.
- Add a drop or two of lactic acid to sparge water
##BOIL
- No kettle salts
- Boil timer settings: nE=4, AD=10, T1=90, T2=20, T3=10, T4=5
- Use *stainless/tubular* hop spider to contain hop residue
- When there are 20 minutes left in the boil sanitize Tilt hydrometer and rehydrate the Irish moss with just enough RO water to cover it)
- When *fermentation* keg is around 1/3 full, add Fermcap-S drops
- Start pitching yeast progressively while wort level is low
- Pitch dry yeast directly onto wort (no need to oxygenate when using dry yeast)
- When filling is complete, put sanitized Tilt hydrometer into fermenter
##FERMENTATION
- Pressurize fermenter and set spunding valve to 26 psi
- Cool wort to 65 degrees (F)
- Connect spunding valve to serving keg filled with StarSan connected in turn to a 5-gallon bucket (to purge CO2)
##PACKAGING
- Slowly ramp down temp to 33 degrees over 13 days (3 degrees per day)
- STC-1000+ Settings
SP0=63, dh0=312
SP1=33
- Pressurize serving keg to 9 psi
- Do a closed/pressurized transfer to serving keg (to get beer off yeast)
- Hold serving keg at 33 degrees for 2 weeks or more
- After cold conditioning, set keezer pressure to 14 psi of CO2
-Target = 2.5 volumes of CO2 at 43 degrees (F)
