Notes

Target is 3 gallons in the primary fermenter, 2.75 gallons in the secondary, and 2.5 gallons in the keg.

Mash water: 2 gallons RO, 0.5 gallon tap. 1.1g Gypsum, 1.1g CaCl2, and 0.2g Chalk.
Sparge water: 2.1 gallons RO

At least 24 hours prior to racking to secondary, warm up and lightly mash the peaches in a ziploc bag with Potassium Metabisulfite.

After primary fermentation is mostly complete (krausen has crashed), add peaches to secondary, then rack onto peaches, then add the Pectin Enzyme. Allow to ferment warm for 2-3 more weeks in secondary, then cold crash. Use fine mesh filter over racking cane into keg. Add Peach Extract to taste (1-2 ounces).
