Notes: Trying to build a Welsh Ale, but with very little Welsh Ale history to reference from, I decided to incorporate a Braggot flavor style to this red ale. Honey from Cardiff Wales, thanks to Natures Little Helpers online. |

1.4. Keg, drink & Enjoy
Old method:
2.1. Mash as usual. I mash at 65c for an hour and sparge with 80c water.
2.2. Let wort temp drop to around 40 - 45c.
2.3. Use actic or phosphoric acid to reach pH 4.5
2.4. Put wort in a clean and sanitised corny keg. Add lactobacillus.
2.5. Blow out any oxygen - important!
2.6. Keep for a couple of days and check pH. If possible, maintain 40-45c.
2.7. When pH is down to 3.6 - Add 5 liter water to be boiled away and boil as usual.
2.8. Goal is still 19 liters to fermentation.
2.9. Primary fermentation 1 week: add yeast and ferment as normal.
2.10. Secondary fermentation 4-8 weeks: Add cloudberries that has been frozen and then pasteurised at 70c, then chilled.

Notes: close to the original. I don't like using hop shots so I bitter first wort.
Don't dry hop for more than 4 days or it will get real catty.
I like using us 04 as it flocks better but still gives off enough esters to keep the bitterness in check. Plus you'll never clear this beer up with 6oz odry hopsf

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. |
