Beer, not rocket chemistry
I am getting ready to brew up a lower strength brew, in the 1.040 range and thought I would see what experience others have in this area. I will attach a 5 gallon version of my recipe below, which is an example of my approach to these brews. I will be brewing 25 gallons of this.
