Notes

Mash at 152°F (67°C) and boil as usual. Fermentation is the trickier part. How cold do you go? I have my answer, but you’re going to need to work this one out for yourself. I say that because you want a low level of ester formation, but that’s it. The yeast will help—1007 is pretty restrained and clean, and I’ve even treated it like a lager yeast with good results—but you’ll still need to find that sweet spot for your pitch rate, oxygen levels, and thermometer quirks. Start at 60°F (16°C) and adjust from there. Too much fruit? Reduce temperature. No ester at all? Increase temperature. But 60°F (16°C) will get you in the ballpark. Once you know your temperature, give it lots of time to ferment off completely—I leave mine for 3 weeks. The yeast cells will work a bit more slowly at that temperature, and you don’t want to rush them.
