♦ SESSION NOTES:
I screwed this one up. Had a strong diacidal
Had to take out the 1.8 pds of Flaked Rice and substituted 1 pd of Rice Syrup Solids which is used in many American Light Lagers.

Rice syrup solids are a granulated powder adjunct, similar to corn sugar or maltodextrin. Utilized to lighten beer color, add body, rice flavor and fermentable sugars, Rice solids are often employed in light adjunct lagers produced by breweries world wide, including Budweiser, Coors, and Miller.

Added to the kettle along with malt extract, Rice Syrup solids reproduce versions of Japanese and American style pilsners.

Application Tip:

Successfully used in extract, partial mash or all grain recipes, Brew and Grow recommends using 1 – 2 lbs. in the final 15 – 30 minutes of the boil for best results.

Added both WLP840 but had to added additional yeast because one White Labs bottle was out dated.

♦ STANDARD BREWING NOTES:
♫Create 8 gallons sparge water. Bring to 154° strike temperature. Prime pump. Pump water through hose. Add tablespoon 5.2 pH balancer
♫Add 2 drops Fermcap before adding grain.
♫Add grain – Sparge at 154° for 90 minutes (Minimum 60) (One gallon loss during sparge process) Water burn rate: 1-1/2 gallon per hour.
♫Boil clean water for end of boil session adjustment. Adjust to 5.5 water line.
•Dark beers – Add x tablespoon Calcium Carbonate
•IPA beers – Add 5 tablespoon Gypsum for IPA

WAKE UP!!!!!!
15 minutes – Add immersion chiller
15 minutes - Add Whirlfloc
10 minutes – Add 1 teaspoon Yeast Nutrient last

♦ Check to see if fermentation tank nozzle is pointed upwards

♦ KEGGING NOTES:
Purge oxygen with CO2
Chill keg 24 hours before force carbonation.
Force Carbonation Calculator: 20 psi 4 days
Volumes of CO2 2.5 at 36°F = 10.2 psi American Ales
