Today’s Lager went nicely hit all the numbers did a 90 min mash and 90 min boil…
It is already bright…9.5lbs of breiss pils with a handful each of bel aromatic, bel carafoam, wheat
and acid malt + .5 lb of victory…add some oxygen 53 degrees and pitch a LOT of re-hydrated s-189 thank you boulderbrewer.
Edit: Hops were 90 min addition of Sterling whole and 20 min addition of Belma
all winter in the cold garage and this will be a joy come early spring…
Nice, keep up the good work.
nice!
TYVM! I put this up mostly to show the 90 min boil with the pils malt.
That is the way to go for sure. I wanted to drink the unfermented wert,
that is how purty the liquid was…Taste was cloying sweet so I did not
manage to consume that.
Very nice!
Have you used the Belma before this…if so, how do you like them?
Ron,
I just racked an ESB with only Belma hops in the mix yesterday. I got a glass of the
green unaged beer and sampled the beer. I do like them. There was this neat citrus
hint of tangerene/orange/lemony note on the back of the tongue…at about 40 IBU.
Great hop to balance maltiness…not so much a hop to “curl your hair”.
They are NOT jump out in your face IPA material at that level. I suppose you could
ramp up the quantity but you would be better served with the super alphas for big hoppiness
if that is your thing.
