Thank you very much for sharing your recipe. My wife is Brazilian and has been asking me to brew a batch of Malzbier for a while now.

I was curious approximately how long it took before you carbonation was at the right level before pasteurizing, because I've never pasteurized my beer before and would hate to end up with exploding bottles.
Any other tips you might have for brewing this beer would be much appreciated

Thanks again

I botled 6 bottles of 355ml and after 5 days I started to open one a day, until I found the right point carbonation.
prefer to pasteurize the beer just before the ideal, this way is safer.
Pasteurize very well, 80gr of sugar/Litter of beer is a big bomb! I use to pasteurize with 75C for 20min until the temp start to go down.
Good luck, and let me know how became

Wish this was still an active thread as I fondly remember drinking dark sweet Antarctica and Skol (I believe) back in the late '70s when I was working down there. I never knew what style beer it was but just called it stout. I really want to make some nowadays.
