How to brew beer with high plato by my brewery equipment?

Brewing beer with a high Plato (a measure of the sugar content in wort) requires making some adjustments to the brewing process. Here are the steps you can follow to brew beer with a high Plato:
1. Mash process: Start by mashing at a higher temperature in your mash tun, around 68-70°C, to convert more starches to sugars. You can also adjust the mash thickness to increase the sugar content in the wort.
2. Mash ingredients: Consider using more malt and less specialty grains in your mash, as specialty grains have a lower percentage of fermentable sugars. You can also add unmalted grains like corn, rice, or barley flakes to increase the sugar content in the wort.
3. Boil time: Generally, time of boiling wort is about 60-90 minutes. If you plan to brew high plato beer, it needs increase the boil time to 90 minutes even more, which will help to reduce the volume of wort and increase the sugar concentration.

4. Boil additives: adding ingredients like honey, maple syrup, or corn sugar to the boil to increase the sugar content in the wort.
5. Fermentation: Use a special yeast strain that can handle high-gravity wort, as a yeast's ability to ferment the wort is a key factor in the final alcohol content of the beer.
6. Temperature control: Maintaining consistent temperatures during the fermentation process is crucial for a successful fermentation and to reach the desired alcohol content.
7. Gravity readings: Take regular gravity readings to monitor the fermentation process and determine when it is complete.
In short, by following these steps and adjusting the brewing process to accommodate the high sugar content, we could successfully brew beer with a high Plato using our brewery equipment.
