Ingredients (All Grain5.5 gal)

  • 9 lbs BEST Pilsen Malt; Best Malz

    BEST Pilsen Malt; Best Malz

    Our first class BEST Pilsen Malt gives beer a fresh and rounded taste. It can be used for all types of light beer. It also forms an excellent “light” foundation for almost all beer specialities. The malt is produced from high-quality two-row-spring barley, which was grown in the best German and European barley regions. The properties of the malt: low protein levels, high extract content, light colour and high enzymatic activity.

  • 0.125 lbs Carafa Special® TYPE III; Weyermann®

    Carafa Special® TYPE III; Weyermann®

    German-grown two-row spring barley (2004 harvest). Product Characteristics: CARAFA SPECIAL® is the de-husked version of CARAFA®. Using our unique process, we remove the husks from carefully selected grains before malting and roasting them. Reduces astringency and bitterness, while adding coffee-brown color, a coffee-like bouquet, dark-beer aroma, as well as body and mouthfeel to finished beer—but without introducing harsh flavors. Even small amounts of CARAFA SPECIAL® malts in the grain bill produce dark beers of unusual smoothness and mildness with a firm, creamy, white head. Recommended Quantities: Up to 5% of total grain bill Suitability (beer styles): Lagers: Dunkel, Doppelbock Ales: Dark, Stout, Altbier

  • 0.51 oz Green Bullet - 12.5 AA% pellets; boiled 60 min

    Green Bullet

    Although a new variety in relative terms, Green Bullet delivers a very real, traditional bittering quality and hop flavour. A flagship within the New Zealand brewing industry this hop has contributed to several International Brewing Industry Awards. Considered a bittering variety typically for Lager, Green Bullet also carries a solid Styrian characteristic of subtle spiciness which finds it at home in a freshly drawn pint of Bitter or an Irish-style Dry Stout.—NZ Hops Limited
