Honey Pils

Honey Pils

Standard American Lager • All Grain • 11.5 L

Honey Pils

This recipe uses Gambrinus Honey malt (Brumalt) to get the honey flavours in the brew, a trial attempt to improve on a Canadian commercial beer, the Granville Island Cypress Honey Lager. Fresh homegrown noble hops straight through, with the fifteen minute hops actually done as mash hops.

Notes

Stovetop step mash, 40C, 60C and 70C, trial (small) batch. My sparge is not very efficient this way (colander and cheesecloth) so efficiency came out *way* lower than normal with my full size lauter tun. To compensate with the bitterness, I reduced the boil time of the bittering hops from 60 min to 45 min, seems to have worked in balance to the lower OG. Hops are homegrown Mount Hood, and the aroma hops listed at 3 and 2 minutes were mash hopped at the 60C step (30 minutes) and the 70C step (30 min) respectively. Hop/mash schedule looks like: 30 minute rest at 40C, raise to 60C 7g (1/4 oz) whole mount hood mash hopped at 60C, 30 minute rest, raise to 70C 7g (1/4 oz)whole mount hood (approx 5ª) mash hopped at 70C, 30 minute rest raise to 78C (170F) for 15 minute mashout sparge, bring to boil 45 minute boil with 7g (1/4 oz)whole mount hood (approx 5ª) at 45 7g whole mount hood (approx 5ª)at 30 10g whole mount hood at flameout, steeped 1 minute prior to cooling Yeast was a pint starter of Wy 2035 just past high krausen, still fermenting and fermentation was evident (small batch, starter, and low OG) in just a few hours.

Just kegged this on the weekend, and was completely underwhelmed by the absence of character contribution from the Honey malt. This may be due to the low gravity/poor extraction, as the beer is quite light and thin. I will try a larger batch by infusion in my fuyll size mash/lauter tun and report back

the proportion of honey malt works out to about 10%, which I will double+ in proportion the next batch, try 25%
