Notes: Won 1st place in club-only homebrew club Lager competition out of 8 entries.

1 vial of yeast used to make 1L starter, split between (2) 5-gallon carboys.

2 hour mash was necessary on my system to extract all possible sugars out of corn and rice. Gravity after 1 hour was ~1.040, and after 2 hours was ~1.060.

Hold fermentation at 52F for first 4-5 days.
Before krausen settles, begin raising temp to 60-65F for Diacetyl rest.
After 3 weeks, rack to secondary.
Chill secondary to 38F over the period of several days, hold at this temp for 4+ weeks.

Notes: After Sparge….raise temp and boil wort for 10 min...turn off burner chill to 95F and add enough Lactic Acid to reach a ph of 4.5 (I have 4 tsp listed)...Add 16 oz of Pomegranate Blackberry Goodbelly drink, purge with C02, cover with cellophane and wrap in a blanket...maintain at 95F for 24 hrs.....then test for PH...target is 3.3 - 3.5, boil recommended time, add hops and flavorings per schedule and then chill to 64F.

Ferment for 5 days, 2 days at 64F then 3 days at 65F. Add 192 oz of POM juice....(four of the 64 oz containers) and let ferment for an additional 7 days....at 66F. Transfer to Keg and chill to serving temp and carbonate to 3-3.5 vols. Enjoy!!

Notes: Original recipe was 80% pils, 8% munich light, 8% white wheat, 4% carahell but had to use what I had available.

Density of 85% phosphoric acid = 1.685-1.689 g/ml

(grain * 30.262 * change in pH) / 14.75 = ml 85% phosphoric acid to change boil pH

Adjusting

Swapped out 1 lb Vienna for 1 lb White Wheat.

Was trying to remember why some may mash/boil higher and lower pH at end of boil. Alpha Amalase is more active closer to 5.6 and DMS is boiled off easier at high pH. Lower pH is desired in boil for protein coagulation.

"There is no uniform method for how the pH is used during the process.
The Bavarian method is to mash relatively high with a pH around 5.5 and keep it at that value in the boil until break formation. Then brewmaster treat it differently as well. Some adjust to 5.2 immediately after the break to encourage an even brighter end product, some do it 10-15 minutes before the end.
In Germany there is a trend of mashing much lower, some as low as 5.2, with a minimal dose in the boil.
These all are a matter of preference and style.
In the end they all end up with wort at 5.1-5.2 hitting the fermenter and all use Sauergut. It is "de rigeur""
http://forum.germanbrewing.net/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=207&start=10

"Regardless of style or maltster, the same principle applies:
As the pH increases, protein excretion improves and hop utilisation increases. That's why one is interested in conducting the boil at a pH of 5.4-5.7, seldom outside that range.
Towards the end of the boil the pH naturally has dropped a little and we now lower the pH into the pH 5.2-5.1 range to aid focculation of the proteins, improve taste, colour and biological stability. Usually this is done 10 minutes towards the end of the boil. That's how you get the egg soup effect.
It's quite straightforward"
http://forum.germanbrewing.net/viewtopic.php?f=49&t=174&start=10

"That is not necessarily the main reason for performing a late- or post-boil pH adjustment. DMS removal is aided by boiling at higher pH. My research indicates that German brewers tend to target a modest kettle pH of around 5.4 and dose with saurergut late in their boil to bring the wort pH down several more tenths to suit the yeast and the resulting beer flavor."
http://www.milkthefunk.com/wiki/Dimethyl_Sulfide ctrl+f pH

So boil @ higher pH to reduce DMS, lower pH to ~5.0-5.2 in last 10 minutes for yeast and protein coagulation.

Calculation for adjusting boil pH:
Grain Weight*34.25*∆pH/11 = ml 88% lactic acid to adjust wort
10.5lb, 5.4->5.2
10.5*34.25*(0.2/11) = 6.5386 ml

Notes: After about half the way attenuated, raise temp to 60 over several days to ensure it finishes out and provides a good diacetyl rest.

Do a diacetyl test by taking a sample and popping it into the microwave for 10 seconds. If any butter smell exists, keep it in the fermentor for a few more days.

Cold crash prior to kegging, lager for 4 weeks, then carbonate to 2.5 volumes.

Notes: Wheat malt provides a crisp and mild malt backbone to an otherwise dry, yeast-forward beer. The addition of sugar helps to enhance the already dry and crisp mouthfeel.

The single ounce of Czech Saaz provides a mild herbal hoppiness, but due to its addition in a hopstand, it adds virtually no bitterness. As a result, the Lactobacillus in the Brettanomyces/Lactobacillus blend produces a notable acidity. While not as tart as a gueuze or a Berliner weisse, it's more sour than a typical saison.

Fruity and peppery, Wyeast's French Saison strain is highly attenuative, producing a dry beer, especially when coupled with the Brettanomyces blend. At the same time, it's high glycerol production leaves a fuller mouthfeel than is typically found in dry ales.

The Brettanomyces blend is primarily Brettanomyces Drei (guava, passion fruit, and apricot), with lesser amounts of Brettanomyces Bruxellensis (cherries, leather, barnyard funk) and Brettanomyces Claussenii (pineapple, citrus, mild funk).

The resulting beer should be dry, slightly sour, crisp, and pleasantly fruity. Expect acidity, lemon, tropical fruit, and pepper, supported by rustic funk and mild herbal notes.
