## Seltzer Brew Profile — PSB Commercial Hard Seltzer
### Base Recipe
- **Volume:** 65 gallons
- **Sugar:** 150 lbs dextrose monohydrate
- **Yield:** ~11% ABV (real-world, NOT BeerSmith's theoretical 15.1%)
- **Target OG:** 1.075
- **Target FG:** 0.996
- **Dilution:** 50/50 with water → ~5.5% packaged
### Yeast & Nutrient
- **Yeast:** Apex Seltzer
- **Nutrient:** Fermi Pro (staggered: 40% pitch / 30% 24h / 30% 48h)
### Water Profile (RO water, 65 gal)
| Addition | Amount |
|----------|--------|
| CaCl₂ | 270–300g |
| MgSO₄ | 110–130g |
| NaCl | 35–45g |
| Lactic acid | 15–25 mL to pH 3.3–3.5 |
### Notes
- BeerSmith calculates ~15.1% ABV with 150 lbs / 65 gal — this is inflated
- Real-world results: 11–13% ABV
- Use 11% as planning target for dilution calculations
- Apex Seltzer attenuates ~92–94% in practice, not 100%
- Keep fermentation 38–45°F throughout
- If FG is higher than 0.996, dilute accordingly to hit 5.5%
