NOTE ON MASH:
Steep corn grits separately in 1.5 gallon of water at 145º for 20 minutes, then add to the main mash and grains after the 122º step. This should bring the total mash volume in the main kettle to 8.5 gallons.
NOTE ON FERMENTATION:
Rack to two different 3 gallon carboys. Ferment with Oud Bruin yeast for 1 week. To one carboy, add all of the LAB; to the other, add the Lochristi brettanomyces. Age at ambient temperature for no less than one year, up to two.
POST-FERMENTATION OPTIONS:
- Blend with cherries or raspberries after 1 year.
- Blend with one or more batches of different ages.
- Serve unblended, bottled and primed with sugar.
