Notes

Goals:
___
-BU:GU ratio ~1.10
-Adjust knockout time to get to 175F and adjust whirlpool additions accordingly to keep IBU in range.

  • Goal mash pH 5.3.
  • Mash recirculation power 45%
    -Boil 50 minutes, wait 10 minutes before first hops
    -At 10 minutes remaining check pH for goal pH 5.0
    -Oxygenate wort for 30 seconds.
  • 210 billion yeast cells required
  • Each pack reporting at least 110B so ~20 g yeast total should do. (7gram each)
    -Ferment at 3 psi
    -Once within 0.05 gravity points of FG raise temp to75 F and let PSI climb to 10
    -Drop yeast after final gravity stable 3 days
    -Drop temp to 58F and dry hop.
    -Cold cash to 40 F
