Since I finally have enough of the ingredients to brew this one, I decided to place the brew thread here from General Beer Discussion before the big move. Old computer hard drive fubared, wife bought me a new one for Father's Day. Lost some files for some reason or other? Found a page with the Mumme' recipe on it I'd saved originally, here; https://distantmirror.wordpress.com/2010/01/18/brewing-a-medieval-mumm-ale/
The recipe I originally listed is down page, here; https://distantmirror.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/medieval-mumm-recipe1.jpg
So, anyway, I'm prepping the man cave/brewery to start on this one Saturday morning for sure! I'll have to use the old memory card, unless Best Buy will let me turn in the bad extreme pro 64GB one I got that won't unlock? Wanna shoot a video of the brew in HD for my Brewvision channel. I'll try to resolve that issue Friday on retiree pay day. I'm eager to get this one going, even thought the BS2 recipe for this and hybrid lager V4 are MIA?!...
This old German fest beer goes back at least 100 years before Columbus sailed for our side of the planet looking for a direct rout to the Indies. It contained various plants that can harm or even poison internal organs. They were used for their hallucinogenic effects. They were used in the days when the Church gained control of the sale of gruit herbs. These wild plants were cheaper substitutes for expensive herbs. So I've subbed in the herbs they replaced as listed in the recipe pic. I'll be updating this thread as I go along with this old fest brew...
*PS- I'll be going through the grains I already bought for this one, along with the yeast, etc to reconstruct the lost recipe starting today. Need to have that ready by Friday night to brew it Saturday. 4 days after fermentation starts, a grain bag of the remaining herbs is traditionally added to primary as well & allowed to ferment out.
