Notes

YEAST STARTER

1.The day prior to Brewing, make 10% DME solution in Erlenmeyer Flask.

MFG Date: //__
Starter: __ gm DME / __ L (per MrMalty.com)

  1. Apply Ice Bath until Temperature reaches ~70F.
  2. Squeeze 1 packet of WLP001 into DME Solution.
  3. Cover with Aluminum Foil + apply to Stir Plate for 24 hours.

    MASH

    PRE-HEAT MASH - 2 gal of Boiling Water
    PRE-HEAT SPARGE - 2 gal of Boiling Water
    (conduct Simultaneously)

    Water Volume: 4.5 gallons for 1.3lb/qt ratio.

  4. Prior to heating HLT, check pH of tap water + add Salts/LA to achieve Goal water.

    pH: ______

  5. STRIKE WATER: 164F.
  6. Add Grains @ 162F.
  7. Allow Temperature to fall to 152/153F prior to closing lid.
  8. Total Mash Time: 60 minutes

    FINAL MASH TEMP: ____F
    FINAL MASH pH:     ____

  9. Add 5L of Boiling Water at the end of Mash and stir into solution
  10. Begin Vorlauf!

    SPARGE

  11. Heat 7gal of Water to 180F. Add to Sparge Vessel.
  12. Recirculate 4 times (or until clear running's) prior to collecting wort.
  13. Attempt to Sparge over ~30 minutes, collect 8 gal into boil kettle.

    BOIL

  14. Check Pre-Boil Gravity (goal: 1.044) + pH
    NOTE: Make sure to adjust for TEMPERATURE

    PRE-BOIL GRAVITY: ____ @ ____F

  15. Adjust Gravity to Goal (1.044)

    Adjusted Gravity: ____ (__ @ __ F)

    PRE-BOIL pH:     ____

  16. Adjust Pre-Boil pH to: ~5.4 (+/- 0.1)

    Final pH measurement: ____
    Lactic Acid addition:     ____ mL

  17. Boil for 90 minutes (goal OG: 1.057)
  18. Add Hops @ 75 minutes.
  19. Add Amarillo Hops @ 30 minutes.
  20. Add Whirlfloc @ 5 minutes.
  21. HOP STAND At Flameout: cool wort to 190F and remove Wort Chiller. Add "0 min Hops" (Cascade, Amarillo, Centennial, Simcoe) to Hot Wort, stir into solution, and allow to "soak" for 15 minutes (with Lid on Kettle). Stir every 5 minutes, then Check Final Temperature! ______F

  22. Chill wort rapidly to ~70F after completion of Hop Stand.
  23. Once temperature is ~70F: place lid on kettle, and allow immersion chiller to rest in wort for another 5-10 minutes (to help settle particles in suspension).
  24. Run-off wort from Kettle into Mash Cooler with Hop Cylinder + fine mesh bag attached (at the end of auto-siphon)
  25. Gravity feed 5.25gal (5gal mark) of wort from Mash Cooler into Catalyst Fermenter
  26. Allow Ranco/Chest Freezer to adjust wort temperature to goal starting temp (cool to 67F).

    ORIGINAL GRAVITY: ______ (goal: 1.047)

    FERMENTATION

  27. Beginning Fermentation Temp: 67F.
  28. Once signs of Fermentation begin to slow, increase temp by 1F/24hr until 70F.
  29. Add Hops when bubbling is near completion
  30. Keep dry hops for 10 days at Fermentation temperature (rouse Fermenter on Day #4 + Day #6)
  31. Cold Crash after 10 Days of Dry Hopping to 40F for ~24 hours before transferring to Keg

    PRIMING
