- Tasting Notes
- Starts malty yet clean, with a BIG malt melanoiden finish.
Some might look at the mash schedule and think it's overkill. Keep in mind that I designed this recipe to yeild an authentic product using a highly attenuative inexpensive dry yeast like US-05.
A couple important notes on brewing this style:
1) To fully develop the melanoidens, take your first 3 to 4 qts of runnings as soon as you draw them and boil in a seperate pot. Let this boil vigorously as you continue to sparge the rest into your regular brew kettle. Add those first runnings as you're heating your kettle.
2) Keep your ferment temps as low as possible, Ray Daniels reccomends between 55* and 60*F. The best I could achieve is 63*F, but it worked just fine and tasted wonderful.
3) After priming, cold condition for at least 2 months, preferably 3.
