Notes: Frambozen — a fruited brown ale of Belgian origin — was first brewed by New Belgium Brewing Company during the winter of 1992.
Our Frambozen is not a traditional Christmas beer in any sense, but the high gravity makes it a great winter warmer, and the full raspberry flavor gives you a refreshing memory of stopping to snack on wild raspberries during long mid-summer hikes.
If you would like to brew this beer at home, I would shoot for an OG of 1.064. The mash should be roughly 75 percent pale malt, 10 percent Munich malt, 4 percent sugar, 10 percent caramel malt, and 1 percent chocolate malt. Add corn sugar during the boil.
Bittering hops are very low. roughly 20 IBUs. Add these hops early in the boil. We hop very minimally for flavor or aroma as we find that the hops will conflict with the fruit characteristics of the finished beer. Ferment down to 1.014 FG, holding temperatures barely above 68° F. Use a neutral ale yeast (like Wyeast 1056) or a Belgian ale yeast, or even both. After fermentation rack your beer off the yeast and chill it around 30° F if possible.
After 2 weeks of aging, rack your beer (being careful not to transfer any sediment) onto raspberry pulp. This pulp should equal 20% of your total beer volume, so if you are making five gallons of beer, you should rack onto 1 gallon of pulp. If you use raspberry juice, decrease the amount to 10% of your total beer amount (1/2 gallon for a 5-gallon batch). The high alcohol content should eliminate any sanitation concerns but wash the berries as well as possible.
Rack off the raspberry pulp after about two weeks, then let your batch settle again for several days before bottling. |

Notes: DIRECTIONS
For the cereal mash: Mix the rice flakes with 13 oz (813 g) of crushed malt and 9 quarts (8.5 litres) of 131°F (55°C) water. Once there are no clumps, cereal mash to 167°F (75°C) and rest 15 minutes for gelatinization, stirring the whole time. Continue stirring and bring to a boil; boil this decoction for 30 minutes.
While the cereal mash is boiling, mash in with the malt at 97°F (36°C) and rest there. Once the decoction is finished, carefully add it to the main mash, stirring rapidly, which should bring the whole mash to about 140–144°F (60–62°C). Raise the temperature to 144°F (62°C), if necessary, and rest 30 minutes. Raise the temperature to 154°F (68°C) and rest 30 minutes. Raise the temperature to 162°F (72°C) and rest for 15 minutes. Do an iodine test to ensure that starches have converted, then raise the temperature to 172°F (78°C) and mash out. Sparge and lauter as necessary to get about 6.8 gallons (26 liters) of wort—or more, depending on your evaporation rate.
Boil 90 minutes, adding hops according to schedule. Whirlpool and add the whirlpool hop additions when the wort temperature has dropped to about 190°F (88°C); continue whirlpooling for 20 minutes. Chill the wort to 48°F (9°C), aerate well, and pitch rehydrated yeast. Ferment at 65°F (18°C). When fermentation reaches about 1.012, move the wort to a pressure vessel (such as a keg; must have pressure relief and a safety valve), dry hop, and add 15 psi—via spunding valve, if possible. Once the beer reaches terminal gravity, crash to 30°F (-1°C), remove the yeast and hops, and condition 1 week before filtering and packaging.
BREWER’S NOTES
The pilsner malt should be American—high free-amino nitrogen, high diastatic power; German pilsner malts don’t work as well with adjuncts. For the rice, you could also experiment with skipping the cereal mash and using rice syrup instead of flakes. For the yeast, Kölsch or Chico strains could also work for a “cold IPA.”
We carbonate via spunding and I like that for IPAs; it seems like carb stones can strip away aromatics. So, we dry hop on spunding day, when kräusening with fresh-fermenting Czech pils. It works great: The added fermentation scrubs the oxygen from the dry hops, we get some biotransformation, and it completely carbonates the beer. |

Dry hopped with cascade and Amarillo 1 oz each. Bottled today and had a taste. It is beyond good, a right on aroma of orange tangerine and the same with the taste . Turned out very good. |
