Notes: Build up starter of lacto with Jarrow Ideal Bowel Support Probiotics. I used 10 capsules in a starter (3 pints water, 1.5 cups DME). I let it sour on a heat pad for a couple of days, chilled and decanted liquid, repitched lacto into another starter. Let it sour a few more days, save slurry for brew day.
Acidulated malt of 0.75 lb assumes starting with 8 gallons of mash RO water with a pH of 5.5. These quantities of water assumptions and grist are targeting a mash pH of 5.3.
After sparge is complete, drop wort pH to 4.5 using food grade lactic or citric acid. First experience: I had 14 after transferring back to MLT (sight glass showed 13, but an additional gallon in HERMS coil, pump, hoses, etc.) and pH was 5.3. I added 13 grams of citric acid, and this dropped the pH to 4.7.
Bring to boil and boil for 3 minutes. Add enough water in HLT to cover HERMS coil, and bring to temp to 90. Chill wort to temp of 90 while pumping wort back to the MLT. Minimize aeration. When HLT is holding 90, pitch the lacto into the wort. Recirculate wort through the HERMS coil, and check pH regularly. Once wort reaches 3.5 pH, transfer to BK. Boil and hop per schedule. Chill to 80 degrees, pitch WLP 644 from decanted starter without aerating. Hold temp at 75 during fermentation.
NOTE: Lacto plantarum works VERY quickly at 90 degrees. In my first experience, I started souring at 115 and progress was very slow... from 4.7 to 4.4-4.5 in 24 hours. I dropped the temp to 90, and 12 hours later, it was down to 3.7. I then raised the temp to 120 to slow the souring process while I was at work. 9 hours later, the pH was down to 3.5-3.6. I boiled at this point. |

Notes: Why spend $2 a pound for flaked corn when you can hot-air pop $.16 worth and achieve the same thing? A full pound of popcorn is an enormous volume, so pop it directly into your mash. It compacts and breaks down when it gets wet. |

Notes: brewed in January, it was ready to drink in May.
It's possible that the boil wasn't aggressive enough - I may have cut the time, resulted in some DMS. The DMS was noticeable in April, but by May, this became very nice!

Notes: Add 4 oz fresh ground coffee to secondary. Use 5.687 gal water for mash. Add 1.69 gal at mashout and sparge with 3.875 gal. Should give pre-boil at 7.75 gal. Minus 2.25 g lost to evaporation during 90 min boil = 5.5 gal post-boil. About 5.25 going into fermenter after hops and trub absorption. Ferment at 65 for awhile and raise to 69 when fermentation slows. Pitch two packages of US-56 for fermentation and one for bottling. Add the yeast to fermenter or secondary, not bottling bucket. Only use 1/2 cup DME for bottling. |

Notes: Ferment at 62°F for two weeks, transfer to secondary and condition cool (50-55°F) for 3-4 weeks. Bottle and age at 50°F for 3 weeks.
The caramel and dark malt notes are well balanced by Goldings hop flavor and bitterness. There is a mild syrupy, molasses aftertaste that is pleasant, especially with the roasty notes.
