Notes: Instructions
Before you begin, sanitize all of your brewing equipment.
Mix the water, brown sugar, and spruce tips in a large pot. Cut and squeeze the lemon into the pot. Bring to a boil and let it boil for 30 minutes.
Place the pot into a pan of ice water until the wort has cooled to room temperature, about 70°F (21°C).
Strain the wort into a one gallon jug, leaving 2-3 inches of head space at the top, then add the yeast. Cap the jug with a lid and give it a few shakes to combine and aerate.
Put a bit of water in the airlock to the line, then position it on the jug. Let the spruce beer ferment for at least 2-3 weeks, until the bubbles in the jug have slowed significantly but not completely.
Bottle the beer using the bottling instructions on this page. Let the bottles sit for 3-4 weeks before drinking. Serve cold! |

Notes: This recipe came from Charlie Papazian's "The Complete Joy of Homebrewing." I made a couple of changes though; since Briess LME comes in 3.3 lbs containers I changed the recipe from 6.5 lbs. to 6.6 lbs of LME to make it easier. Charlie also called for 18 AAUs which would have put the IBUs near 80 which didn't seem right to me for an altbier. I cut it 11.1 AAUs for my first try.
Lastly, note that this is an ale that you will lager. After racking to the secondary fermenter, lager it for 2-3 weeks at 55 degrees Fahrenheit. |

Notes: Beer came out awesome! There are a few changes I'd make though.
First, the melanoidin character is just a tad strong for my personal preference. It seems to be a bit too dried-fruity and verging on chemically, something that CaraMunich and Dark Munich malts contribute in large amounts (-The chemical flavor faded, it was from CaraMunich and was similar to a dry-erase marker aroma-). I'd rather have a fuller, bready and toasty, almost nutty character.
Another thing is that the hoppy bitterness is just slightly too high. This hoppiness, paired with the clean, dry finish lends a bit of a light crispness to the overall beer. This isn't really out of style, but for my personal preference, it's a bit much.
Honestly though, these are super-nitpicks. This beer is fantastic! I really like the interplay between the floral, spicy, herbal hops and the rich caramel and fruitiness of the malts. This is an excellent beer, and something that I can drink anytime. The carbonation is also spot on.
In competition, the highish melanoidin and hoppiness will probably give this beer an edge against other heavier, more cloying examples; especially with the dry, palate cleansing finish. |
