partial mash designed to have a light body but a sweet finish. Hopping very low to allow the ginger to dominate. A Semi-sodapop ginger beer, low alcohol.

Ingredients (Partial Mash18.93 L)

  • 1 kg American Caramel 30°L

    American Caramel 30°L

    Provides color, body, and contributes to foam retention and beer stability.

  • 1 kg American 2-row

    American 2-row

    Yields a slightly higher extract than Six Rox brewers Malt. Tends to give a smoother, less grainy flavored beer. Some brewers claim they can detect a significant difference in flavor. Lower protein and will yield a lower color than Six-Row Brewers Malt

  • 1 kg Rice Syrup

    Rice Syrup

    Rice syrup has no flavor impact in beer. Rich in fermentable sugar, light in color and body with crisp, dry taste.

  • 10 g Mt. Hood - 5.0 AA% whole; boiled 60 min

    Mt. Hood

    Used mainly for aroma and flavor in American and German style ales and lagers. Aroma is mild, pleasant, light, and clean.

  • 5 oz finely grated ginger root at 15 minutes - (omitted from calculations)

  • 250 g Lactose added to boil - (omitted from calculations)

  • Danstar Nottingham

    Danstar Nottingham

    The Nottingham strain was selected for its highly flocculant & relatively full attenuation properties. It produces low concentrations of fruity and estery aromas and has been described as neutral for ale yeast, allowing the full natural flavor of malt & hops to develop. The recommended fermentation temperature range of this strain is 14° to 21°C (57° to 70°F) with good tolerance to low fermentation temperatures (12°C/54°F) that allow this strain to be used in lager-style beer. With a relatively high alcohol tolerance, Nottingham is a great choice for creation of higher-alcohol specialty beers!

Notes

Liquid maltose (hydrolized wheat starch) added to boil in place of rice syrup - gives a nice nuttiness. Single infusion mash at 155-156F to yield a sweeter finish.

I wrecked this one by leaving it on the yeast and stuff in the primary carboy for about a month. Couldn't lose the disgusting yeast autolysis flavour so it got dumped -= other than that, it tasted like it would have been good....
