                Notes: Drop a 1L 1.040 starter on yeast cake from small beer 24hrs before fermentation
 
 Mill the grains and follow these steps for a decoction mash: Mash pH 5.3
 Mash in at 144°F (62°C) and hold 20 minutes; raise the temperature to 149°F (65°C) and hold 20 minutes; raise the temperature to 162°F (72°C) and hold 20 minutes; remove one-third of the mash and boil it for 15 minutes (or remove two-thirds and boil the remaining one-third, depending on what works best for your system); return the boiled portion to the main mash, which should bring the temperature to about 171°F (77°C).
 
 Vorlauf until runnings are clear, then run off into kettle. Sparge the grains and top up as necessary to obtain 6.8 gallons (25.7 liters) of wort—or more, depending on your evaporation rate. Boil for 90 minutes, following the hops schedule. After the boil, chill the wort to 46°F (8°C), aerate, and pitch the yeast. Ferment at 50°F (10°C). When the gravity has dropped to about 1.018 (4.5°P), increase the temperature to 54°F (12°C). When beer has fermented completely, decrease the temperature by about 4°F (2°C) per day until you reach 39°F (4°C). Hold there for 4 days, then decrease the temperature to 32°F (0°C) and lager for at least 3 weeks—preferably longer.
 
 BREWER’S NOTES
 Use German malt varieties, or this beer will not taste right. Our supplier is IREKS, based in Kulmbach, Bavaria. Our house yeast is from Klosterbrauerei Andechs in Bavaria (and WLP835 may be from the same source). We pitch 22–24 million cells per milliliter. |

                Notes: ph ended up at only 3.6, which has a lot to do with the Passionfruit additions.  It tastes a lot like a sour too, even though it's not really meant to be.  Amazing passionfruit smell (I used Ponthier passionfruit puree), good head retention, a little watery on the taste to be honest but certainly doesn't taste like a 6.2% beer.
 
 Fermentation kicked off after about 24 hours.  Finished in about 3 days (pressure fermented at 5psi until fermenting was done, then up to 22psi at 19 degrees to carbonate).
 
 Before adding the passionfruit puree, I pulled off half the beer from the primary into a secondary.  I wanted to see if this would make a difference, because it means that the primary would be sitting on the yeast cake and a load of hops for another week.
 
 In the end I couldn't tell the difference between the two, so next time everything goes into the primary before I rack it off to the serving keg.  Secondaries seem to be a waste of time for me so far (I ferment in a corny with a filter so that helps).
 
 Finished at 1.011.  After adding passionfruit puree, gravity went up 0.05 points and fermentation kicked off again in both vessels.  In the end, I think this turned out at about 6.2%. |
