I have recently fallen for a beer i thought i would never fall for. This "New Belgium" brewery has come up with a beer that is from a recipe over four century's old: "1554 Belgian Blackbeer." Amazingly.. Quite a beer! This, despite New Belgiums mostly lackluster past. It is very cool to think that you can be crafting a beer the same as the beer crafted 400+ years ago, and alot of people are trying this completely new style. Here is what i have so far:
Amount Item Type % or IBU
8 lbs Pale Ale Malt 2-Row (3.5 SRM) Grain 83.1 %
8.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 60L (60.0 SRM) Grain 5.2 %
8.0 oz Caramunich (71.0 SRM) Grain 5.2 %
4.0 oz Carafa I (337.0 SRM) Grain 2.6 %
4.0 oz Chocolate 340.0 SRM) Grain 2.6 %
2.1 oz Black Patent Malt (500.0 SRM) Grain 1.3 %
1.50 oz Williamette [5.50%] (60 min) Hops 29.8 IBU
0.50 oz Goldings, East Kent [5.00%] (60 min) Hops 9.0 IBU
1 Pkgs California Ale (White Labs #WLP001) Yeast-Ale
Mash Schedule: Light Body Batch Sparge - Nate
Total Grain Weight: 9.63 lb
----------------------------
Name Description Step Temp Step Time
Mash In Add 12.04 qt of water at 168.3 F 152.0 F 60 min
Notes:
------
The true ingredients were listed as this. 80L Caramel Munich and 55L Crystal and just German Carafa Malt. I chose the closest subs. The Caramel Munich may just be Munich.
It doesn't fit a style category, they call it a black ale. Similar to a Schwarzbier but not lagered
If you find something Extract or AG that is closer lemme know. This beer has my highest complement for uniqueness; uniqueness in itself is a high complement.
