PB0183 Quad 01/05/2024

NOTE: We are targeting only 5 bbl into the FV to ensure plenty of headspace for a vigorous fermentation.

run rakes during mash in and then for first 15 min of sacch rest while recirculating wort through vorlauf.
Let mash sit another 75 min (90 min total rest time) to ensure full conversion, then vorlauf for 15 min. We want this beer to be highly fermentable and finish relatively dry compared to the high starting gravity

Lauter and sparge very slowly taking between 60 to 90 min to collect 205 gal gal in kettle. note lower volume at start of boil due to targeting only 5 bbl. Start pump on lowest speed (20 or 25%) and restrict output to collect ~50 to 60 gal every 15 min. flow meter should read ~12 to 15 L/min

fermcap and first wort hops added to BK as it starts to fill

Note 90 min boil for DMS reduction with the high % of pilsner malt.

Add candi syrup with 60 min remaining in the boil

add yeastx, whirfloc, and dextrose with 15 min left in boil

whirlpool for 10 min. then let rest 15 min.

add ALDC to FV before knocking out.

knock out to target 64 F for start of fermentation. Set FV glycol control to 64 F. Oxygenate at 1 L/min for 90 min through carb stone in FV, or inline oxygenate at output of Hx at 1.5 L/min flow rate the whole time while knocking out.

repitch combo of WLP545 Belgian Strong Ale and WLP530 Abbey Ale yeast harvested from PB0180 Trappist Tripel. Pitch as much good thick slurry as possible (at least 50 lb)
