Notes

Single addition, assuming .1g/pound grain absorption

mash for 30 minutes (check for conversion after 30, will go longer as needed) and boil for 30 minutes

Add 2mL 88% extra lactic after boil for a20 to convert to ethyl lactate

Intentionally under pitching to .5, not taking into account sugars added by fruit
