Dry | Lallemand

• BRY-97 American West Coast Ale Yeast (Dry) 2 x 11g Sachets

Water Adjustments (Optional):

• 10g or 2 tsp of Calcium Sulphate (Gypsum) into mash water.
• 5g or 1 tsp of Calcium Chloride into mash water.
• (Note: Minerals are not included in the Kit)

Brewing Aid:

• Mangrove Jack’s Low Carb Dry Enzyme (glucoamylase) along with Yeast into the primary fermenter.

Method:

1. Mill the grains and dough-in targeting a mash of around 3 Litres of water to 1 Kg of grain (a liquor-to-grist ratio of about 3:1 by weight).
2. Single Infusion low mash temp at 63-65°C until enzymatic conversion is complete.
3. Infuse the mash with near boiling water while stirring or with a recirculating mash system raise the temperature to mash out at 76 °C.
4. Sparge slowly with 77 °C water (est. 15L), collecting wort until the pre-boil kettle volume is around 25 L.
5. Boil: 90 minutes. 1st Hop addition of 20g of Mandarina Bavaria at 60 min and 2nd Hop addition of Hallertau Blanc 25g at 15 mins from end of boil and add your Yeast Nutrient and any Deltafloc or Irish Moss at the same time. Final hop additions of 30g of each hop at 5 mins from end of boil.  
6. Cool wort and transfer to the primary fermenter oxygenating wort and pitching Liquid Yeast or BRY-97 Lallemand Dry Yeast at 18° C ferment at 18 °C.  Add Mangrove Jack’s Low Carb Dry Enzyme (glucoamylase) along with Yeast into the primary fermenter.

9. Do the second Dry hop of another 20g of Hallertau Blanc for 48 hours (2 days) before chilling to clear then transfer to keg or bottle.  DDH total contact time of hops with your beer will be 5 days.

10. Transfer to Corny keg and crash cool and condition for 1-2 weeks and filter using your normal method.

11. Target a carbonation level of 2.75 – 3.5 volumes.
