Notes

Step-mash @ 50°C for 15 min then another 60 min @ 67°C.

Bring down to 35-40°C and pitch 1 vial of L. Brevis. Obs! NO lactic acid added, just to get the right pH in this recipe, all pH is from the L. Brevis.

Let sit for 48-72h @ 40°C until <3.6 pH.

Bring to boil, pitch in 30g of EKG @ 60 min and another 30g @ 10 min, along with protafloc and yest nutrients. Finally pitch 0,5 g of saffron whole pistils @ 0 min. Actual OG 1,070.

Cool and pitch 1 pack of Mangrove Jack's M44.

Add 1 g of saffron pistils after fermentation is done and let sit for 3 days.
