Full volume, no sparge

Hops loose in kettle

Check wort pH near end of boil, target 5.2-5.3. Adjust with lactic acid in kettle as needed.

Chill to 65F. Oxygenate and yeast pitch at 65F and increase by 1F per day until 72F. Maintain 72F until end of fermentation. Then raise to 75F x 3 days to ensure full attenuation.

Check pH with target 4.2-4.3. Adjust with lactic acid as needed?

At terminal, cold crash x 5 days, add gelatin x 3 days, then keg with biofine. Pull pint on day 5 then highly carbonate.

Condition x 4-6 weeks minimum at 35F
