Brewfather notes
FERMENTATION (SG triggers – verify Pill with hydrometer)
- Pitch 18 °C, spunding 0.2–0.3 bar. Rehydrate 5 pkg Verdant.
- SG ≤ 1.050 → 20 °C
- SG 1.024–1.022 → DH1: 125 g Citra + 125 g Mosaic (purged bong), 21 °C, spund 0.8–1.0 bar
- Stable 3 days + forced diacetyl clean → bleed to 0.4 bar, DH2: 225 g Citra + 225 g Mosaic, 19 °C
- +3 days: check SG drop + diacetyl. Clean → pressurize ~1 bar CO2, crash 2 °C 48 h
- Closed transfer to purged kegs, 2.4 vol
MASH pH: 20 ml lactic up front. Read at 10–15 min (cooled). >5.45 only: 2.5 ml per 0.05. No correction after ~35 min.
KETTLE: lactic last 10 min → 5.1–5.2 at knockout. Log finished beer pH (target 4.4–4.6).
