The following beer recipe is featured in the May/June 2017 issue of Zymurgy magazine. Access this issue along with the archives with Zymurgy Online!
Amahl Turczyn adds a caramel-twist to a summertime favorite. Expect a bit of sweetness and color from the specialty malts, while the character of the beer stays true to the refreshing quality of Mexican lager.
Ingredients:
MALTS
6 lb (2.72 kg) Vienna malt
2 lb (0.9 kg) Pilsner malt
1 lb (0.45 kg) flaked maize
1 lb (0.45 kg) 20° L Munich malt
0.5 lb (227 g) 120° L crystal malt
2 oz (57 g) Weyermann Carafa® II malt
HOPS
2 oz (57 g) Tettnang, 4.5% a.a. @ 60 min (28 IBU)
YEAST
Mexican lager yeast (2 L starter)
WATER
04. g/gal (0.3 g/L) calcium chloride added to reverse osmosis water
Specifications:
Yield: 5.5 US gallons (20.8 L)
Original Gravity: 1.052 (12.8° P)
Final Gravity: 1.012 (3° P)
ABV: 5.20%
IBU: 28
SRM: 13
Directions:
Mash malts at 148° F (65°C) and allow to rest one hour. Apply heat or boiling water to increase temperature to 168° F (76° C) over 20 minutes. Hold at 168° F (76°C) for another 10 minutes to mash out. Sparge at 168° F (76° C). Boil 90 minutes. Chill to 50° F (10° C) and oxygenate. Pitch a strong starter of yeast. Ferment at 50-55° F (10-13° C) until terminal gravity is reached. Raise to 60° F (16°C) and hold two days for a diacetyl rest. Crash to 35° F (2° C) and lager beer at 35-40° F (2-4° C) for at least a month. |

Notes: 8/5/23-Monster Brew from Scholb. OG: 1.045, ABV~30 from Cascade. Added 2oz Hallertauer Magnum 12.9 @170F WP.
5/6/23-Mash was 240 minutes. Motueka only 1-60, 1-WP180F, 2-DH40F_2days. Pilsner & Brown Rice (Raw/Cereal Mash). Water Calcs are: Mash/Strike-6g Gypsum/CaSO4, 2g Epsom/MgSO4, 1g NaCl/Salt, 2g CaCL, 3ml Phosphoric 85%, AND Sparge-1ml Phosphoric 85%. So many issues this day with a double decoction and clogged filters, leaking cooling hoses and glycol chiller not chilling; not sure if this is going to work or not.
5/28/22-5G from Smog City Brewings Monster Brew Day. 1.046/25IBU. Hallertau Magnum and Saaz 2oz@/20MinWP, and a 2L pitch. Will only bring it up to 170F for the WP and add hops. Decent flavor, very light. I think it needs more body and more hops. Don't do lagers without dry hops anymore. Yeast is a little fruity, Maybe ferment colder?
6/10/22-D-Rest@75F. 6/13/22-CC@40F. 8/3/22-Kegged/Force-Carbed@36F
2/5/22-2nd attempt at lager.
2/11/22-Free rise to 70F.
2/14/22-Cold Crash & Dry Hop.
2/27/22-Finally got to move to purged keg with 1tsp Ascorbic Acid.
1# of cereal mash jasmine rice. changed the hops. Using Maris Otter. Changed the yeast, made a starter. I am going to use my pale ale minerals/acids since the RO system isn't up yet.
Mash: 2.5ml Phosphoric, 4g Chalk, 3g Epsom, 9g Gypsum
Sparge: 4ml Phosphoric
Boil: 3ml Phosphoric
3/18/22-Tapped. Flavors of cracker, lemon, jasmine flowers, minerals. Dry, no bubblegum! Yay! This was really good. Used Saaz/Huell Melon in equal bits. |
