Notes

adjust pH to 5,1 at the end of boil. if you're an "ichiban shibori" believer (or want to save time and water) don't sparge. fwiw the sparge water temp doesn't matter. it's recommended to condition yeast in separate unhopped wort and then pitch that liquid yeast. zinc is important for yeast, 5mg in a solution for in the fermenter would suffice. cold-condition near zero. also yes lactic acid isn't reinheitsgebot compliant.
