Notes: if flaked rye is expensive just get flaked barley. prob never use flaked rye again anyway

45–50°C — 15–20 min (optional)

Helps with rye, improves lautering

62–65°C — 60–90 min

Main conversion

Leaves dextrins → high FG

72°C — 10–20 min

No Boil (Most Traditional)
Heat wort to 85–95°C Do 20 min boil here at these temps

Do not boil

Cool and pitch yeast

A) Juniper tea (for flavour + aroma)
Crush 1–2 teaspoons dried berries

Steep in 1 litre of 80–90°C water for 10–15 min

Add the tea to the mash or to the wort before heating

This gives you the branch flavour — piney, resinous, clean.

B) Crushed berries in the mash (for tannins + antimicrobial effect)
5–10 berries per 10 L batch

Lightly crush

Add at mash‑in

This gives you the branch bitterness and the preservative effect.

3/4 block of yeast but prob full block because its btter to have more and it wont cause overpitch problems anyway. actually 25g

Notes: Added 1.5 of table sugar to boost gravity
Couldn’t control fermentation temperature because basement too warm. Got up to 75 degrees. Beer tasted of Fusel alcohols. Dumped the whole batch and bought a second chest freezer;)

Second brew was much better. Used Imperial House A01 instead. Finished dry 1.013. Did last 10 bottles as a mole stout. Made a tincture of the following:
1 1/2 cups vodka
1/3 of cut up fresh habanero pepper
4 smoked guarillo peppers
2 smoked ancho peppers
4 cinnamon sticks

Added to taste at bottling. Ended up adding 1/2 cup of the tincture.

2nd place in First Round of 2019 NHC in Indianapolis.

Notes: https://learn.kegerator.com/sahti/

Historically...

- barley, supplementing with rye and/or oats;
- yarrow, bog myrtle, caraway, and other herbs were often used in its flavoring;
- traditionally brewed with minimal, if any, boil (= little hop)
- filtered through a bed of straw and juniper branches layered along the bottom of a kuurna — a carved wooden trough with a plugged bunghole at the bottom
- small amount of hops were added to either the mash or as part of the filter bed

- To build your grain bill, start with a base 80 to 90 percent either English pale ale or Pilsner malt.
Munich malt is found in many Sahti recipes and can make up from 10 to 20 percent of the remaining grain. Use rye in amounts up of 5-10% — though it can make up as much 40% — and a small percentage of malted and/or flaked wheat, or flaked oats could also be included.
- Whether you use hops or not is going to be up to your own preferences, and likely something you will want to experiment with. But remember, the bulk of the aroma and flavor in a Sahti should come from the Juniper branches and berries. When hops were used, they were added as part of the sparge filter or directly to the mash, which was sometimes boiled for a short time as a last step. In this way, hops could have imparted slight aroma and possibly a little flavor, but very little bitterness.
- Stick to low-alpha hop varieties and those of a more earthy/spicy quality. European hops are going to be recommended and should be a nice complement to the juniper. A few good varieties to choose from include:
German Noble Hops — Saaz, Tettnang, Hallertauer Mittelfrüh
English Hops — Fuggle, East Kent Goldings, Challenger
- Often, brewing water was heated with juniper branches to impart even more juniper flavors.
