Dupa ce am imbuteliat prima bere facuta de mine din kit am inceput prima bere all grain folosing brew in a bag, dupa reteta asta: http://www.lugwrenchbrewing.com/2010/01 ... stout.html, pt
Black Pearl Oyster Stout
(5 gallons/19 L, all-grain with bivalve mollusks) - am adaptat-o la 12 L si am folosit midii in loc de stridii
OG = 1.052 FG = 1.013 IBU = 37 SRM = 60 ABV = 5.0%
Ingredients
9.0 lbs. (4.1 kg) 2-row pale malt - 2.8 kg Weyermann Pale Ale
0.5 lb. (0.22 kg) flaked oats - 160g.
1.0 lb. (0.45 kg) roasted barley -250g orz prajit de mine
0.5 lb. (0.22 kg) chocolate malt -210g
0.25 lb. (0.11 kg) black patent malt -80g Brewferm Special-B , cred ca era mai bun Carafa
10 oz. can raw oysters (and brine) -190g stridii vii cu cochilii, adaugate in ultimele 15 min.
1 tsp. Irish moss -adaugat tot in ultimele 15 min.
8.6 AAU Fuggles hops (60 mins)
(1.5 oz./43 g of 5.7% alpha acids) -30 g in ultimele 60 min.
4.3 AAU Fuggles hops (20 mins)
(0.75 oz./21 g of 5.7% alpha acids) -15 g in ultimele 20 min.
Wyeast 1084 (Irish Ale) or White Labs WLP004 (Irish Ale) yeast -am folosit BREWFERM TOP 6 gr
0.75 cups corn sugar (for priming)
Step-by-Step
Mash grains for 45 minutes at 152 °F (67 °C). Boil wort for 120 minutes. Add hops at times indicated. Add oysters and Irish moss with 15 minutes left. Cool wort. Transfer to fermenter, leaving oyster bits behind. (Don’t eat the oysters - they taste terrible.) Aerate, pitch yeast and ferment at 68 °F (20 °C).[/i]
Am pus maltul zdrobit la 65-67 grade constant 45 min. dupa care am scos plasa, am scurs 2L apa la temp.75 grade peste malt, obtining apx 10 L de must pe care l-am pus la fiert 120 min. La 60 min am adaugat prima parte de hamei, la alte 40 min a doua parte iar in ultimele 15 scoicile si Irish Moss-ul. In 600 ml apa am fiert si dizolvat 150ml Better Brew Spraymalt Dark si cand a ajuns la 23grade am pus drojdia inainte cu 2 ore inainte de a o adauga la must. In apx. 8 min. dupa ce am stins focul, am adus cei 8L de must ramasi la 21 grade iar densitatea era 1.075. Am completat cu apa pana la 12 L cand densitatea a ajuns la 1.054, dupa care am adaugat drojdia, am agitat bine damigeana si l-am lasat la 20 grade la fermentat. A iesit foarte inchis la culoare, ca un stout si mirosul e placut. Pe fundul damigenei s-au depus sedimente (cam 1,5 L din volum) imediat dupa ce am pus drojdia iar dupa 2 ore am agitat din nou damigeana. Deocamdata nu a inceput sa scoata bule.
