I have a Norwegian friend, who takes a lot of crap from us Germans, was wondering if there was an extract recipe that would be considered Scandanavian. Was thinking of brewing one up for him. Any thoughts or suggestions?
It's pretty hard to get, but a local pub owner told me he would serve it to people who hadn't tried it before. Thinking about splitting a bottle with a beer geek friend of mine next time he's in town.Speaking of Scandinavian beer, recently found out the city I was born in (Orebro, Sweden) is known for Stormaktsporter, which supposedly is extremely rare and highly rated. Anyone ever hear of it or have a chance to taste it?
Andy Mosher in the book "Radical Brewing" has a recipe for a Viking beer named "Gotlandstricka".
This is a picture of our yeast stick, this
is a true copy of an historic yeast stick
similar to what they used in the old
days to keep yeast in the farmhouse
breweries. The stick is full of large
holes were the yeast can collect. The
stick was rolled in the yeast cake after
the beer was drained and then hung
up to dry and reused by placing it back
into a fresh wort when needed. We will
try this one day to recreate an old style
beer this way.
