  • 2 tbsp 5.2 pH Stabilizer - (omitted from calculations)

    5.2 pH Stabilizer

    Five Star 5.2 pH Stabilizer. A proprietary blend of food-grade phosphate buffers that locks in your mash and kettle water at a pH of 5.2, regardless of the starting pH. It also reduces scaling and mineral deposits on brewing equipment. 1 pound. Use at the rate of 1 tablespoon per 5 gallons of water.

  • .5 tsp Wyeast Nutrient - (omitted from calculations)

    Wyeast Nutrient

    Although wort is a good growth medium for yeast, additional Wyeast Nutrient will reduce lag time, improve yeast viability and provide consistent attenuation rates. Low assimilable nitrogen concentrations (FAN) of grape must or wort have long been known as a cause of sluggish or stuck fermentations. Wyeast yeast nutrient, a blend of vitamin B's, minerals, inorganic nitrogen (DAP), organic nitrogen (amino acids), zinc, phosphates and other trace elements will benefit yeast growth and carbohydrate uptake for a more rapid, complete fermentation. Use 1/4 tsp per pint for beer propagation, 1 tsp per 5 gallons for wine or beer fermentation or 1.5 oz per 10 barrels for beer fermentation.

  • Wyeast 2124 Bohemian Lager™

    Wyeast 2124 Bohemian Lager™

    A pilsner yeast from the Weihenstephen. Ferments clean and malty, with rich residual maltiness in full gravity pilsners.

Notes

Used 5 cup starters in each of two carboys. In one, I tried oxygenating with olive oil - the tip of a paper clip dipped into olive oil and run in with the stream of wort into the carboy. I was not happy with my sparge water. I used the bucket I had used to store my sanitizer made with Star San. There was a bit of foam and cloudiness - I wonder whether than will impact the taste, perhaps through messing with the pH. After brewing, I wound up with around 10.5 gallons of 1.052 wort, which I chilled to 60 before adding the yeast, and then left outside in 44 degree temps for another few hours, and then put into my beer freezer at around 45.
