General Info
2018 Buddy Brew with Chelsea LaMont and Brad Gay.
Brewing this one to top-out the system; the goal is to yield a 16.5 gallon pre-fermentation volume at 1.054. To do that, need to brew a higher gravity wort that will be diluted the fermenters with water; targeting a 1.074 OG (which necessitates an adjustment to the malt/hop/water amounts). Dilute with 4.5 gallons of boiled and cooled water (run thru heat exchanger and add 1.5 gallons into fermenters), add chilled wort to each fermenter to 5.5 gallon mark. Split yeast starter among each fermenter as usual.
Recipe here is for a 11 gallon batch with no dilution.
Special Procedures
4 gallons in secondary on 2 lbs of raspberries and purred flesh of a 10 lb watermelon.
