| Notes: Add dextrin malt after protein rest at the start of Beta rest. Add 1,5kg fine sliced ginger and lemon zest to boil in spider for 15 min. Peel remaining ginger, sanitise, grate and freeze before adding to primary near FG. Used 3 packs of Mangrove Jacks Dry Enzyme in primary to dry out the beer. Will reduce this next time as very dry and a bit high abv. Surprisingly popular brew! Nothing like this on the commercial market. Taste is like a beer with added ginger rather than the typical commercial ginger. Might try it with a lager yeast next time. |

Notes: Midnight Wheat added at the end of 154° mash step as it raises to mash out.
***This recipe scored a 34 and won second place at the Roberts Coven Germanfest Home Brew 2025 competition. Room for improvement for sure, specifically altering the recipe to allow the malt to shine more and backing off the hops a touch. Score sheet attached in the photos section.*** |
