I found this recipe using google...its a recipe that was posted in a thread on HBT. It seems pretty simple. I have never brewed a beer. I'm a straight up wine and mead maker. Its seems like I could pull this off but i want some input on this recipe.
So...once you have reached your desired carb level you pasturise? Does anyone see some holes in this recipe that would need some attention? What the hell is trubb? Any comments would be great.Lemon Ginger Braggot
3.3 lb light malt extract
3 lb honey
1 oz. Hallertauer hop pellets
3 oz. shredded ginger root
Champagne or Nottingham yeast
4 oz. priming sugar
8 oz. maltodextrin
2 lemons, zested and juiced in the boil
1 lemon juiced in the prime
Boil the malt for 45 minutes.
Add the ginger, lemon zest and juice, honey, hops, and maltodextrin.
Boil another 10 minutes.
Stain the wort into your fermenting bucket.
Add ice cold distailled water until the temperature reaches approximately 100 degrees F.
Add room temp. water to top off the 5 gallons.
Add the yeast, cover, and allow to ferment for 7 days.
Strain out the trubb while racking the brew and do a secondary fermentation until all fermentation stops.
Rack again.
Prime and bottle.
Let it clear and enjoy.
