Add calcium chloride and gypsum to filtered water.
Mash grains at 157F for 60 min in 8.2 gal. of water. Remove bag and squeeze to collect as much sweet wort as possible.
Bring to a boil briefly to kill any microbes in the wort then cool to approx. 95F. Add lactic acid to achieve a pH of 4.5 then add lacto-blend starter to wort.
Monitor pH over the next 12-24 hours. Target pH is 3.6-3.7.
Once target pH is acheived, bring wort to a boil for 60 minutes. Once complete, cool to approx. 150F and begin whirlpool additions.
For the whirlpool additions: add hops gradually after cutting off heat, allowing the hops to steep in the wort as it cools. Allow 45 min. to steep with wort at 150F. Chill wort after steeping.
Once wort reaches 69F, Transfer to fermentor. Slowly add O2 through stone to cooled wort for approximately 1:15 minutes.
Pitch yeast and install blow off tube. Place in temp controlled area.
Ferment at 69F and take samples once primary fermentation begins to slow.
Add first dry hop at peak of fermentation (Usually 24 hours-ish)
Once fermentation is complete, de-stem 16 lbs. of strawberries and puree them. bring puree to 170F for 15 min. then add to a sanitized fine mesh bag to be suspended in a secondary (Sanitized non-flavored floss works great to hang bag in fermentor).
Place fermentor in fridge to cool quickly. At this point, the beer should also be crashed to approx. 40F.
Once puree is cooled, purge secondary with CO2 and rack chilled beer into it. Allow beer to sit on fruit for about 4+ days.
When desired flavor is reached, add vanilla beans to keg and then rack beer on top. Press to approx. 50# for 1-2 days. Lower to 20# for 1-2 days, then serving pressure.
Can and enjoy but do not let beer get hot after due to re-fermentation possibly happening.
