Notes: trying some unfamiliar ingredients on a style from the 1870s
"A floor-malted barley malt from a single barley variety (Optic), and produced by a centuries-old, family-owned maltster (Fawcett). Optic is another malt considered to be one of the last of the traditional English Pale malt varieties still produced in the UK. Adds a degree of biscuit flavor. Brighter and lighter in flavor than Pearl, a great malt for the production of Real Ales."
"Most widely used for their aromatic properties, UK Challenger hops can act as a bittering agent in your brew, as well. These hops make a great choice for early and late kettle additions, that contribute a spicy, woodsy cedar, and green tea character to any type of Ale. You can also get crisp fruity notes with late kettle additions. This is a granddaughter of Northern Brewer, with lineage also including Target and Northdown.
Hop Statistics:
Alpha Acids: 6.5 – 9.0%
Beta Acids: 3.2 – 4.2%
Alpha-Beta Ratio: 1.5 – 2.8
Cohumulone: (% of alpha acids): 20 – 25%
Total Oils in mls per 100 grams dried: 1.0 – 1.5
Storage(% alpha acids remaining after 6 months storage at 68° F): 70 - 85%
Similar Hop Varieties: Perle, Northern Brewer"
starter: 3 oz. dry malt in 1500 ml water with a touch of yeast nutrient and a few hop pellets
I'm counting on some darkening from the boil, but even if it stays golden, it represents my understanding of 1870's pale ales.
brewed Saturday, July 7
pre-boil gravity = 1.030
O.G. = 1.037
I added a packet of dry US-05 yeast to the starter just before pitching at 11:30 am
three frozen water bottles in the bag with the fermenter
1:20 pm - 74
maintained fermentation temperature between e at 62° and 64° for four days, then allowed temp to gradually rise to 70°F.
racked on Saturday, July 14 - yeast had dropped and formed a chunky mass at the bottom the Speidel fermenter.
bottled on Saturday, July 21
tastes spicy, very pale yellow color
FG = 1.005

Notes: This is an attempt to recreate what I always imagined the frothing golden liquor that you see in Viking shows and movies to be. They call it "mead" but it looks like an ale of sorts, golden in color with some haze and a thick white head. It is clearly quaffable and moreish, unlike traditional mead, but is more indulgent and luxurious then an ale.
This is in no way intended to be historically accurate. This is simply a recreation of a drink as seen in my minds eye (or mouth in this case). |

Notes: I owe much of this to Orfys recipe. Now just a little more mellow. Use pack of yeast after getting it started in 125 ml of water.
Note: American rye selected from menu, actual grain used is British malted rye, probably any malted rye will work.
Just an easy drinking old fashioned mild That is much darker than the software thinks it is. |
