Notes

Mash at 152F for an hour and spare at room temp. Once the temp of the wort reaches 120F, add unmilled 2-row to inoculate with Lactobacillus. Leave at room temps (~85F) for 7-10 days until the pH reaches 3.1-3.3, add the hops and boil wort for 15 min. Cool and transfer to clean and sanitized carboy and add hydrated yeast and raspberries. Leave the fruit for 4-6 weeks, depending the color and level of activity. Prime at 3.0 lvl of CO2. Usually carbs in 2-weeks.

Add Lactic Acid to lower pH to 5.4 during mash.

Use grain bag for unmilled 2-row.
