Notes


Strike with 9 gallons at 160 to hit 145. Raise through Herms to 155 after 45 minutes. Verify Mash PH is 5.2. Adjust if necessary with lactic acid. Sparge with 11 gallons at 165-170


Safeale 04 (wyeast 007) fermented out three generations in. Yeast has a good clean ale flavor. Made a 2 liter starter two days before brew day 1-21-12.

Pitch yeast at 65. Add 1vl for 2min of pure 02 prior to pitching. Ferment at 65. Raise to 70 degrees after a few days to clear diactyle.

Add a Brett C culture in secondary after building it up via starter. Adds a nice leathery/citrus/pineapple complex flavor. Dry's the beer out substantially and really adds a huge amount of complexity. Drying the beer out helps substantially in the finish.
